Alabama
Railroad Bill: The Robin Hood of Alabama?
Location: Limestone County, Alabama
Some people say Railroad Bill was a sort of Robin Hood, who stole from the Louisville and Nashville Railroad the (L&N) and gave to the poor people of Alabama. Others think he was just a rotten outlaw.
Begining in October 1859, the Lousville and Nashville railroad ran passenger and freight trains along a track system 187 miles long. It's route stretched from Louisville, Kentucky, to Nashville, Tennessee. The L&N thrived during the period of rebuilding after the Civil War. By 1872, it went all the way to Alabama , where it ran through Birmingham and Montgomery, later to Mobile. but the poorest residents of Alabama could barely afford food, much less a railroad ticket.
According to legend, Railroad Bill stole food and whatever else he could from the railroads freight trains. But the didn't eat all of the tasty loot himself. He shared it with Alabama's poor, often leaving it on their shack porches as a gift. Even if he did have a generous side, Bill was undoubtedly a lawless hooligan. He carried a rifle and two guns and wasn't shy about using them. Begining in 1894, he had run-ins with police and railroad workers. A year later, he shot and killed an Alabama sheriff. A reward was offered for his arrest.
Somehow Bill always managed to evade capture. He escaped the law so easily and often that people began to wounder if he was indestructibe. Some said mere gunshots couldn't kill him. Others said he could catch bullets with his bare hands. It was even whispere that he could transform himself into a dog to blend in with the sheriffs' bloodhounds.
Eventally, Railroad Bill proved himself to be mortal. He was killed by a constable in Atmore, Alabama, on March 7, 1897.
By the end of 1971, the Lousville and Nashville railroad operated over 6,500 miles of track through thirteen states. The railroad eventally became part of a company called CSX transportation. But thousands of miles of L&N track still exist and are used today.
Over the past century, the ghost of Railroad Bill has been reported wandering along Alabama railroad tracks and in nearby pinewoods. He is descirbed has a thirty-eight-year-old, wide-shoulderd African-American man, know for his broad smile.
From time to time, poor Alabama residents still find donations of food on their porches. Are the gifts from the ghost of Railroad Bill? Some people think so but we will never know for sure.
