Legend of RR bill associated with the P&A (lPensacola & Atlantic) RR
which later was the L&N RR.{now CSX) Some researchers say he was a black man with    a Robin Hood M.O. In the infancy of the P&A RR the route ran through pines, swamps, etc.,. Legend has it that RR bill set up Scarecrow like figures along the darkened R/W with torches, & bill straddled the track with a tdorch or light. the shadowy images confused the crew into thinking there were more robbers & stopped the train, Bill uncoupled the engine & then proceeded to rob the passengers.
