It was 1:15 a.m., and the Great Train Robbery was under way.
In his home near the tracks in Nelsonville, Bill Evans, awakened by two blasts from the engine’s air horn, bolted out of bed.
The president and conductor of the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway knew one of his engines should not be running the tracks at that hour.
