A train robbery occurs in North Bend,…
May 1865 CE
A train robbery occurs in North Bend, Ohio (a suburb of Cincinnati), on May 5, 1865, but because it is committed by armed guerrillas and occurs shortly after the end of the Civil War, it is not considered to be the first peacetime train robbery in the United States.
Some sources say that the May 1865 robbery took place at a water siding while the train was stopped taking on water.
