Erasing the Past...One high-ranking figure in organized crime The Great Train Robbery, 1963 Sixty Years On | Aug. 08, 1963 (click here for video)
"The Great Train Robbery of 1963 took place at Ledburn, Buckinghamshire, England, when a gang of bandits
halted a train ferrying mail between Glasgow and London. At 3:00 am, the group caused the train's engineer
to stop by activating the red signal and covering the green signal.
When the train came to a halt, engineer Jack Mills and his assistant were overpowered, while others in the
group boarded the first two coaches hauling mail and tied up the four employees on board. The group then
uncoupled the engine and two coaches from the other ten cars on the train, and forced the engineer and assistant
to move one mile down the line to the Bridego Bridge, where the mail bags were dropped into automobiles waiting beneath.
The haul was estimated at £2,600,000 (at the time worth about $7,300,000; equivalent to £70 million or $87,500,000 in 2023). " [Wikipedia.]
