This is for all of you who research the train robberies and the stories that surround the stolen loot from these robberies..
I want to first state that there were train robberies that took place by your common outlaws, so where this stolen money went is anyones guess. On the other hand there were train robberies that, while robbery seems to be the most obvious goal, there were things going on "behind the scenes."
A few years ago, while deciphering treasure maps (accumulation rooms) and plotting these spots on modern day maps, I began to notice something that was quite peculiar. I began to notice that some of these accumulation rooms that I was researching were located in areas of known train robberies. It wasn't until later that I realized that there was a story behind the story.
It is well known that the railroads were/are owned by members of the "society." Also, the railroads were used to ship money/treasures from the east to the west (as it developed). This supplied the monies needed to control (to own) the growth of new areas.
To make a long story short, the railroads were supplying things to certain areas of the United States such as timbers for shoring tunnels as well as money/treasure to help their "brothers" expand the control of the "society." In other words, as accumulation rooms (banks) were being built the railroad would help supply the needed materials to create these banks. Once finished, these banks would then be filled with money/treasure. Some of this treasure was taken from the treasure rooms created during the Civil War and shipped to points west.
To make a long story short, it can be proven that the act of robbing a train would allow for the train to stop anywhere, at any time, for the purpose of off-loading (on-loading) supplies and treasure. The robbery kept all passengers from wandering off and witnessing the acts that were taking place. And, at the same time, the robbers would make money for stopping the train by robbing the passengers. It was a win-win situation. Hell, rob the train too (if it was carrying gold), the insurance would pay for it!! (the hollywood movies show how the information that a train was carrying gold was passed down, however, the truth is this information was given to the "robbers" by the higher-ups in the railroad, it was meant to happen!!)
So, if you're researching train robbery loot and are trying to find out where this loot may be buried, be aware of the fact that the loot (especially that taken from the vaults on the train) is most likely stored in a treasure room near the robbery location. While you're looking for a few million (by todays standards) in train robbery gold, the real resting is not only more secure, but it probably has a hell of a lot more gold in it than you think.
A few of the States where these train robberies took place next to a known accumulation room include, but are certainly not restricted to:Arizona, Missouri, Nebraska, California, Utah, Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
