This just in: “New York Curiosities” was held at gunpoint while traveling on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. The suspects are thought to be part of the “Loomis Gang,” aka the Mystery Company of the Finger Lakes, a known gang of bandits/actors who “rob” the Thendara-to-Carter line on Wednesdays in July and August.  

Lissen up, book. This here's a stick up ...

When he's not robbin' trains, this bandit likes to curl up with a good book.

I'm not going to hurt the book. Naw, I just want to scare it a little ...

Y'know that "mighty purdy" part? Yeah, that's us!

You can read more about the Loomis Gang train robberies in my book.  A huge thank you to my friends Sandy, Chrissy and Doug of Marcy, NY, for sending the pictures.
