The Great Train Robbery (1903) (1380 words)
And the spectacle of the fireman (replaced by a dummy with a jump cut in scene four) being thrown off the moving train was a first in screen history.
The desperadoes stealthily sneak on board the train (between the tender, the car attached to the steam locomotive that carries fuel and water, and the express mail car) just before it pulls away.
The train passengers are forced to leave the coaches.
The Great Train Robbery circa 1998 (2866 words)
Ed Crawford, a leader of Hillsborough's train efforts, has said that "typical new four-lane roads" cost $15 million to $25 million a mile to build, compared with $5 million a mile for rail.
Train promoters at one time quoted the anticipated number of daily trips as high as 71,000 – a ludicrous figure compared with even Dade County, where the population is more than double that of Hillsborough yet only about 45,000 to 50,000 trips a day are tallied.
The number of automobile commuters who switched to light rail in Portland was less than 0.5 percent of daily commuters in the metropolitan area, a percentage quickly nullified by the rate of growth in employment, according to a study by the Cato Institute.
