The Bohannon gang is arguably the most successful train robbing criminal organization that you've never heard of. The gang robbed at least three different train lines of over $100,000 ($3,105,988 in 2020 dollars) in freight from 1885 until their capture in 1897. Once in custody, the Southern Railroad and the state of Georgia came after the gang with such enthusiasm that the criminal inquiries soon overflowed to create a long list of indictments that included some of North Georgia's most prominent businessmen. The most successful rail pirates of their day would not go quietly, or alone, to face justice.
