90036 crosses Bridego Bridge nr Ledburn Jn with 1M16 2046 (27/8) Inverness - Euston under gin clear skies early on August 28th 2015. The "Skoda" is named Driver Jack Mills which is poignant here as this is the bridge where the "Great Train Robbery" of 8th August 1963 took place, with the mail bags unloaded here. Driver Jack Mills was coshed which ended his railway career but the media still tend to glamorise the villains even in 2015..

This is a Breaking Bad Season 5 set called Train Robbery. It is based on the scene from episode 5 where Walt, Jesse and Mike rob the train.
Same story as the next photo:
We were only gone 2 hours. I took gemma to her pediatrician and then to pick up new antibiotics for her double ear infection. Walking into our house through the back door at 12 noon, I went to the front door to check the mail. As I came into the dining room I could see a guy standing on our front porch holding a shovel. I thought maybe Alec had forgotten to tell me a new gardener was coming to give a quote.
The rest happened in a total blur. I took a few steps and saw the front door was open and I then knew this was not a good situation This guy was no gardener...he must have heard me as I got to the door because he took off running just as I was able to yell, "What the fuck are you doing?"
The guy tore off down the street, first tossing the shovel into our garden. I guess I was in shock at catching someone breaking into our home that I did not scream. It even took me a second to realize I should call 911. The police came after driving around the neighborhood looking for the guy. They did not see him anywhere and later told me that he probably had a car parked on the next block. They noticed that he had removed a screen from one of the windows before prying open our front door with the shovel. They took the shovel for fingerprinting and we are now waiting for a fingerprint crew to come dust our windows and front door. 12 noon. I would never have expected a mid day break in.
Thank God I was not 5 minutes later or he would have already been inside, not just making sure no one was looking.
Thank God he was not armed that I know of.
Thank God he was alone.
Thank God he ran.
Thank God all we have to deal with is broken doors.
Gemma saw the whole thing and stood at the window saying "bad bad man broke our house with shovel." I don't think she got scared because I stayed calm and Alec came home from work right away.
We are fine, but I am starting to pack for Australia.
'Stop the Great Fuel Robbery' protest at Dept. Of Energy - 16.02.2013
A coalition of campaign groups gathered on 16th Feb 2013 at the Dept. of Energy and Climate Change on Whitehall to protest against ongoing excessive fuel price rises and proposed cuts in Winter Fuel Payments. Millions of poor, sick or disabled people are already experiencing extreme fuel poverty as they are faced with the stark choice of either eating or keeping warm, and deaths by hypothermia amongst disabled benefit claimants, pensioners and the sick have increased alarmingly as subsistence benefits are slashed by David Cameron's government.
Groups represented at the protest were UK Uncut, Fuel Poverty Action, Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC), Disabled Activists Network (DAN,) WinVisible, Greater London Pensioner's Association, Global Women's Strike and All African Women's Group.
As a grand finale the protesters set up a blockade of wheelchairs - one with someone handcuffed to a wheel - across one carriageway of Whitehall, disrupting Southbound traffic for over an hour before peacefully dispersing.

The Drake is a swanky downtown hotel frequented by some of the most famous figures in the world, from Winston Churchill to Marilyn Monroe. Al Capone successor Frank Nitti even maintained his office here.
Eric Nelson was a waiter here who hatched a plan to rob the hotel. On July 29, 1925, he and four other bandits, Joseph Holmes, William Mullenschuck, Ted "Tex" Court, and Jack Wilson, he burst into the Walton Street entrance (pictured here) and announced a stickup. Confused by the layout of the large hotel, they went around robbing employees when two gunshots rang out. A hotel detective had put two slugs in Tex who staggered outside. Collapsing on the street, Lincoln Park police officer Patrick Hannigan shot the prone man three more times, killing him.
Joe Holmes ran to the basement and got locked in a kitchen but not before he killed the son of a cashier. Holmes gun was now empty and another Lincoln Park cop wrestled him to the ground and arrested him.
Nelson, Mullenschuck and Wilson ran into their car with $10,000 purloined from the hotel and sped north. They crashed into a trolley and split up. Nelson was shot in the head and killed by pursuing police.
Mullenschuck and Wilson escaped but Wilson had a bad head wound. Wilson hid his share of the money at a restaurant and went to hospital. Then he was arrested there--he had signed in under his own name rather than an alias.
Mullenschuck was the only one who got away and was never found. Holmes and Wilson were condemned to hang on Feb. 13, 1926. Before he was executed, Wilson said, "We'd never done such a foolish thing if we had been sober."

Armed robbery at a kiosk near the commuter station in Handen just as the Haninge Day got underway. A man, 25-30 years old wearing sportswear and a baseball cap threatened staff with a knife before stealing some cash and disappearing into the crowd.
These two Class 40s were on shed at Reddish one evening in July 1982. On the left, split-headcode 40126 and on the right, 40094. The overhead wires are still live to facilitate the movement of Class 506 EMUs around the depot. 40126 was of course the locomotive involved in the Great Train Robbery in 1963.
Robbery must be a consideration in these parts but no easy way of getting away. The only transport solution is canal

(My great Aunt Pearl (Pearl Davis) was Elzy Lay's sister in law. The outlaws Butch Cassidy, Lay and Meeks were frequent visitors to the Star Valley homestead)
Bub Meeks, the last of the old west outlaws, was sentenced to prison 35 years for the Montpelier bank robbery in 1896, but he had proof he was not in Montpelier that day.
Meeks was a member of Butch Cassidy's Hole in the Wall gang out of nearby Wyoming. He was convicted of robbing the Bank of Montpelier with Butch Cassidy and Elzy Lay, who were positively identified in Montpelier that day but never brought to trial.
“No doubt, in a modern courtroom trial, some of the evidence introduced in the sentencing would be introduced in the trial.” said former Idaho Attorney General and criminal defense attorney David Leroy. "That evidence might have set the outlaw free."
Meeks, who acknowledged he was guilty of many crimes but insisted he was not guilty of that bank robbery, said his innocence wore on him, every day he spent behind bars in Boise.
It all started on Thursday, August 13th, 1896 on a blazing hot day in Montpelier, Idaho. Three strangers rode horseback into town and turned onto dusty Washington Street. According to court records, they dismounted, tying their horses to a hitching post in front of the drug store 50 feet from the Bank of Montpelier. Then just after 3pm headed directly to the bank in single file.
According to court transcripts, Butch Cassidy, Elzy Lay, and Bub Meeks approached the boardwalk. Bank President G. C. Gray was out front of the bank talking to Montpelier City Councilmen Bill Perkins and Ed Hoover. Gray testified that when the strangers hit the boardwalk in front of the bank, they drew their guns.
The outlaws quietly forced the banker and councilmen inside the small bank. Gray calmly recalled later that the clock on the wall read 3:13. Inside, Lay forced the stenographer, Gray, Perkins, and Hoover against the west wall at gunpoint while Cassidy got in the cage with a sack in hand and emptied the cash drawers of silver and gold. Cassidy then ordered 19-year old bank clerk Bud Mackintosh to open the wall safe but when he protested saying it was empty, Cassidy called him a “damned liar” and cracked with the butt of his Colt .45 over his left eye.
Mackintosh led Cassady into the vault where he found the ‘bills’ and a fully loaded Winchester rifle that Mackintosh kept for situations like this. Cassidy took the new rifle as he backed out of the vault. Mackintosh testified that they had just completed a cash-drawer count and he gave up $7100 in hard cash. Others testified that there was another $9,000 in bills and banknotes. But bank President Gray, steadfastly testified that the outlaws only got away with $7,100.
When Cassidy came back out around the cage with a half-full sack in one hand and a revolver in the other, witness depositions reveal that outlaw Elzy Lay threatened everyone there to “be still” or they’d be shot.
As the outlaws left the building carrying the 65-pound bag of cash, the bloodied and dazed Mackintosh looked out the window and studied the face of the man holding the horses. In less than three minutes the daring daylight robbery was over and the mounted outlaws disappeared at a slow trot into the hot, afternoon and into old west infamy.
When the outlaws faded from sight, Gray ran from the building yelling, “robbery, robbery.” Deputy Sheriff Fred Cruikshank was first on the scene but there wasn’t a horse in sight so he took off on a bicycle in hot pursuit. City Prosecutor John Bagley got his horse and followed. They caught a glimpse of the outlaws far in the distance, but just enough to determine their direction.
A week later an arrest was made in Evanston, Wyoming. Henry Robert "Bub" Meeks was taken into custody by the Lincoln County Sheriff's and transported to the Bear Lake County Jail where for the next year he cooled his heels. According to Macintosh’s statement to the sheriff's office, there were problems with the State’s case. The man holding the horses was slight and short. Macintosh wore glasses, had been struck in the head by Cassidy, and testified in court that all he could see was a man from the waist up.
This is where the case against Bub Meeks falls apart.
According to arrest records, The 28-year-old Meeks stood 5’11, and a solid 170 pounds. But the Lincoln County Sheriffs' office in Wyoming knew this was Meeks, and that he and Butch Cassady and Elzy Lay were wanted in the Montpelier bank robbery.
At the arraignment, charges were read, an attorney was appointed which led to another problem, Sam Rich was the court-appointed attorney tasked with defending Bub Meeks. Rich was the brother of the Sheriff and a part-time deputy of the Bear Lake County Sheriff's office and that was a major point of concern for Meeks. Yet for the trial, two new attorneys were brought in, R.S. Spence and T. Glenn.
As bad as this looks today, Former Attorney General Leroy says he has no problems with the court-appointed attorney.
“There's nothing that says that someone's brother cannot be fair counsel,” said Leroy “But it does raise the question of will this person be compromised by his participation in the arrest. Would he be less than zealous in this defense because of his relationship with the custodial officer?”
(Leroy read the witness depositions and thought the line of questioning by the new attorneys was competent and would pass modern-day muster.)
Meeks pled not guilty but loudly stated over and over again that he was not even in Montpelier on August 13th, 1896. Meeks even produced a bill of sale from a George Wilson, a prominent rancher from Vernal, Utah, for a horse Bub sold him on August 12, 1896. The bill of sale was witnessed by two men, Del Colton and Charles Shannon, but oddly the letter was never introduced as evidence at the trial, yet was introduced during sentencing and ignored by the Judge.
From arraignment, through the preliminary and the trial itself, Meeks took on a belligerent tone.
The outlaw's outbursts were frequent and cussing out District Judge Drew Standrod was a daily occurrence according to the Montpelier paper.
“Competent counsel would have kept his client in line,” said Leroy. “I wonder how much Meeks trusted his court-appointed attorney,” he could have said something to Judge Standrod. So a lot went on here, that's lost to history. The Bill of sale clearly should have been introduced during the trial and this speaks loudly to the issue of counsel's competency."
The Montpelier Examiner reported that Meeks or his court appointed counsel “made no effort to provide an alibi,” said his nephew Gaile Meeks, who wrote about the robbery just a few years ago. “And it was rumored that he was involved in the Union Pacific railroad holdup at the same time and was afraid that it would be discovered and he would get a bigger sentence.”
After the trial, two weeks later at the sentencing, banker and witness, E.C. Gray sent a letter telling that the man they saw was short and slight and he didn’t think it was Bub Meeks, add to that the fact that the sheriff’s brother defended the man he arrested in Wyoming for the crime. Again, the letters were not brought up in the criminal trial, nor the alibi but afterward during sentencing.
“Letters from detective Joseph Jones, special agent of the Oregon Short Line Railway and Alfred Budge, county attorney for Bear Lake, supported leniency for Meeks. The day before the robbery, August 12, many say he was seen in Vernal,200-or-so miles away, where he traded a buckskin horse for a mare. That was a mighty long way on horseback,” wrote Gaile Meeks.
Newspapers reported that Judge Standrod took a bitter dislike of the young outlaw from the initial court appearance and during the contentious weeklong trial and during sentencing threw the book at Meeks. Judge Standrod sentenced Meeks 35 years, the maximum sentence for robbery, to the Idaho State Penitentiary for his part in the crime.
Bub Meeks arrived at the Idaho State Penitentiary east of Boise on Sept. 7, 1897, and it was just the start of a long string of bad luck.
Fast forward exactly four years to August 13, 1901, the Idaho Parole Board met to commute Meeks 35-year prison sentence. The Statesman stated that sentence was based testimony of witnesses who had serious doubts about Meeks's guilt. Bank clerk E. C. Gray wrote that “I did not get a good look at his face, excepting to notice a fake mustache. My impression has been that he was a smaller man than Mr. Meeks,” wrote Gray.
Bear Lake County Prosecutor Alfred Budge also took a merciful liking to Meeks and thought he got a raw deal. He wrote to the parole board that “35-years in other than murder cases is extortionate, unreasonable and unwarranted confinement.”
The board commuted the sentence from 35 years to 12, making him eligible for parole in January of 1902. But for reasons unknown only to himself, Meeks grew restless because his proclaimed innocence wouldn’t let him rest.
The Idaho Statesman ran a story on December 24th, 1901. “Bub Meeks, the notorious outlaw-bank robber from the Bear Lake area made a bid for freedom. The escape of the prisoner is the most daring ever made at the prison," declared the front-page story. In the dead of winter with 7 inches of snow on the ground, Meeks tasted just a day of freedom.
“He was captured Christmas Day up the Boise River,” said nephew Gaile Meeks. “ His sentence had previously been reduced to twelve years but the Boise judge was so angry he increased Bub's sentence to 35 years again. Later it was commuted to 20 years according to court documents.”
The Idaho Statesman declared that "His prison record had been one of the best and he had been a model prisoner. He was a semi-trusty. He was good-natured and jovial and quite popular among his fellow prisoners.” Meeks even apologized for breaking out of prison.
“Warden, You have been very good to me, and perhaps you didn't deserve the treatment I gave you,'" Meeks told the warden after his recapture, in a Statesman story. The outlaw was returned to prison in East Boise and was locked up in solitary confinement in the famed Siberia cellblock where prisoners bake in the summer and freeze in the winter and hardships there didn't agree with the affable outlaw.
In late January of 1903, Meeks got sick, according to prison papers he was suffering from tuberculosis and malnutrition. The prison doctor and administration granted the outlaw 3 hours of freedom in the yard each day so he could exercise and get sunshine and get his health back.
A month of rehab did wonders for the outlaw and on February 3rd, Meeks tried another daring escape, Meeks made it to the top of the sandstone prison wall and jumped to freedom. Meeks got at least 300 yards past the warden's house. But tower guard R.H. Fulton, a sharpshooter dropped Meeks in the snow-covered field, not far from Warm Springs boulevard. The escapee was wounded in the left thigh, six inches above the knee. Guards hauled the outlaw to Saint Alphonsus Hospital in the prison buckboard. The leg was shattered and doctors had to amputate the leg, eight inches below the hip.
After a month in the hospital, Prison administrators no longer considered Meeks an escape risk. But on March 30th, 1903 just a month and 17 days after amputation, Meeks climbed onto the roof of the prison hospital and rolled off. The Caldwell paper said it was an attempted suicide, other papers said it was another escape attempt.
Prison guards found Meeks on the ground, bleeding and unconscious. His barely healed amputation wound had split back open. He cracked his head open and was bleeding from the mouth and jaw. Meeks was hauled back into the hospital and doctors sewed his leg wound up. This go-around, Meeks was truly miserable. He was still sick from tuberculosis, in constant pain from the amputation and now the head injury left him deeply depressed. He tried to commit suicide again and the ongoing depression alerted doctors.
On Friday, April 24th, prison doctors judged Meeks insane and he was put on an eastbound train for Blackfoot. His shoulder and neck were in a cast, and he was just starting to get around on crutches. Before he left for Blackfoot Meeks agreed to an interview. The Caldwell Tribune wanted to know why he couldn't just do his time.
"Why did I escape? Well, that's easy," said the 'prisoner in his cell. "I saw what I believed was a good chance to get away, and availed myself of the opportunity. So I took the long chance and I suppose I will have to take my medicine for the effort that failed. No, I have no complaint to make about treatment while an inmate of the penitentiary. The warden and his assistants have been very kind to me, as well, as to the other prisoners, and what more can a poor outcast expect?”
The State Hospital in Blackfoot agreed with Meeks. He could walk around the hospital and could come and go freely behind the walls of confinement.
But after a pleasant summer in Blackfoot, On August 24th, 1903 the Pocatello Advance newspaper reported that outlaw Meeks had escaped the State Hospital. "The previous night Meeks stole a workhorse and fled East to the Blackfoot River. A month later he was spotted on Crow Creek road between Montpelier and Star Valley, Wyoming,"
Meeks had somehow broken out of the body cast and was making progress in a desperate attempt to get home to his parents and family. A month later on October 23rd, the Evanston News reported the one-legged, busted up outlaw had finally made it home.
“Bob Meeks, sentenced for 35 years for the bank robbery in Montpelier is home. He is nursing several broken bones at the family home near Fort Bridger. He's still nursing a broken shoulder from a fall. This cost him no end of suffering since. He now has the appearance of a decrepit old man although he is only 29 years old! Meeks escaped the Blackfoot Asylum last August. In doing so he sustained a broken shoulder in that fall,” according to Evanston News.
Meeks said in an interview that his innocence never let him rest.
“I tell you it's hard, 'old man, to do time for something you never did, and it rankles in a fellow's breast. But what can you do? Liberty is sweet and to a man isolated and behind bars … when the feeling comes over you, even with death staring you in the face, a lost soul is willing to take the big chance. I took it, but I failed. I am now satisfied, and I will take my punishment like a man,” said Meeks.
US Marshalls, Idaho State Prison, and a half dozen county sheriffs knew where Bub Meeks was. The Wyoming Governors office at one point sent a letter to Idaho authorities saying they would arrest and extradite the outlaw back to Idaho if ordered, Idaho declined. For the next seven years, Meeks lived free, but his paranoia, the fear of arrest wouldn't let the outlaw rest. His nephew Gaile Meeks says that outlaw spent many days up a tree at the family ranch with a loaded rifle waiting for his arrest.
In early 1911, Meeks's mental condition worsened, his family had the outlaw committed once again to an Asylum. On November 22, 1912, Bub Meeks took his life in the hospital, he was just 43 years old.

Update: A 45-year-old Cary man has been arrested in connection with the robbery at Fifth Third Bank on Wednesday in Woodstock.
Michael Feterick, also known as Michael Retterly, was charged with bank robbery in federal court today. He remains in custody and was scheduled to make his first court appearance at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, April 16, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Iain D. Johnston, according to a release issued by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The charges carry a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison, a fine up to $250,000 and full restitution, the release said.
According to the complaint, Feterick entered Fifth Third Bank, located at 1745 S. Eastwood Dr., at about 10:50 a.m. and presented the teller with a note written with a black Sharpie pen stating, "Money, no dye pack." The teller gave Feterick the money from her drawer, according to the release.
Feterick was arrested late Wednesday at an Algonquin hotel by FBI agents and police officers from Woodstock and Crystal Lake, the release said.
Original Article:
No charges have been filed in connection with the robbery of the Fifth Third Bank in Crystal Lake on March 30.
The man who robbed the Fifth Third Bank is Woodstock on Wednesday is likely the same person who robbed another Fifth Third Bank branch in Crystal Lake on March 30, according to the FBI.
The FBI, who arrived on the scene about one hour after the heist, released surveillance photographs of the man who robbed the Woodstock bank at about 10:50 a.m. April 15. The bank is located at 1745 S. Eastwood Dr. in a stand-alone brick building next to the Quality Inn, near the intersection of Routes 14 and 47. The man did not display a weapon, and fled the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to police.
The suspect wore a blue hooded sweatshirt with "New York" stenciled on the front, sunglasses and hat. He is described as a white man with brown hair, about 37 years old, weighing about 180 pounds and standing between 5-feet-10-inches to 6-feet tall, according to FBI spokesperson Diane Carbonara in the Chicago office.
A police K-9 unit from the city of McHenry was immediately brought to the scene. Police were working to determine whether the suspect ran to an awaiting car, or if multiple getaway vehicles were involved. Woodstock Deputy Chief John Lieb said the department did not plan to issue additional information until he had was able to give one confirmed report. Police were still working Friday afternoon to gather evidence and interview employees located inside the bank.
Shortly after the robbery was reported, one person inside the bank reported having symptoms of a heart attack. After being checked by emergency personnel, that person was feeling better, a witness at the scene said.
The man suspected of robbing the Fifth Third Bank in Crystal Lake last month wore a red hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and grey hat. The robbery occurred at 4:18 p.m. at the branch, located at 265 W. Virginia St. (Route 14), and the suspect ran away on foot. The robber was never found.
Anyone with information about the robbery should contact the FBI-Chicago office at 312-421-6700.

"The great train robbery" Well today 08/23/2021 & 8/24/2021 the Atlantic Coast Line Locomotive No. 1504 was placed on flatbed semi's to leave the area its only really known as home Jacksonville Florida. Just one more piece of railroad history this town could really not care about. Sure its going to be restored for U.S. Sugar Corp.'s historic Sugar Express tourist train attraction. And one more piece of Railroad history in Jax/Fl will be lost forever. So I say Goodbye to the Atlantic Coast Line Locomotive No. 1504.
