Train robberies

Train robberies involve the illegal theft of valuables from trains, often during transit. Historically, bandits or organized criminals would stop moving trains, usually on remote routes, to access cash, gold, or cargo. These crimes required planning and sometimes sophisticated methods to evade detection. Modern train robberies are less common due to advances in security, surveillance, and communication. When they do occur, they pose significant safety risks and can involve violence or use of weapons. Overall, train robberies are financially motivated crimes that exploit vulnerabilities in transportation security systems.
