The Shadow River Regulators are cowboy/gunslinger reenactors who regularly perform at the big events at the Poway-Midland Railroad (http://www.PowayMidlandRR.org) such as July 4, Rendezvous in Poway (late September), and the Train Song Festival (early October). Not a lot of cowboy groups get to rob a 100+ year old steam train.
In this skit, the outlaws stop the train and call out the marshall. Once they get the bag of gold, they can't decide whether to divide it on the spot or back in the hideout. A shootout with a bit of melodrama ensues.
This was recorded at the Train Song Festival on Oct 4, 2008 in Old Poway Park.
Don't know what looks like more fun. Robbing or driving a steam train.
