Hey Jungletrader,

I sent ya a letter, but since the guy is walking from Sonora I guess he still ain't there yet! Actually, it was a last minute thing so I didn't have time to find out who lived up that way.

Wow, I finally got my 5 seconds of fame! The shoot was lots of fun-no Spam but plenty of beef jerky. It was shot in Jamestown at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park:

It has been host to many shoots through the years including "High Noon","Back to da Fewcha III","Petticoat Junction","Unforgiven","The Great Northfield, Minnesota Raid" and "Debbie Does Dallis"-just about anything with an olde-timey train in it. The locomotive they used in them shoots is currently disassembled and being restored.

If you get a chance to see the program again take a careful look as the bandits push the large, green safe from the moving train. The production folks suddenly realized if they pushed the plywood prop safe out it would most likely break into a million pieces. Two large cardboard boxes taped together and covered with WET green paint was substituted in its place!
