The James Gang would be impressed.

It's one more thing.

Armstrong and Getty.

One more thing.

And I refer not to Joe Walsh's pre-Eagles, pre-Solo career outfit,

the three-piece Canadian classic rock heroes, the James Gang,

but indeed the gun- gun wielding Western bandits,

specifically train robbers.

We talked during the Armstrong and Getty radio show about the Mojave Desert train heists

that targeted like unreleased Nike sneakers.

And how that's just become, it's a huge thing now,

but how they do it and how big a problem it is,

was a little long to get into on the radio show.

So I thought it would describe it to you.

The thieves stealthily bored eastbound freight trains

hiding out until they reach the lonely stretches of the Mojave Desert

or high planes way away from towns.

Then they slash an air brake hose causing causing the mile long line of rail cars to screech to

emergency stop.

Then they go shopping.

How many people are on one of these trains?

Probably not very many people at all, right?
