Dead Train Robber Rock Springs Treasure

Lost Treasure WY • Sweetwater County County
Description
Rock Springs legend of the "Dead Train Robber's" treasure — a cache said to lie near the Union Pacific coal-town country where railroad outlaws operated in the 1870s–1890s.
Historical Notes
Sweetwater County lost-treasure compilations place the Dead Train Robber's hoard in the Rock Springs vicinity without naming a single authenticated recovery. The tale belongs to Union Pacific robbery folklore overlapping Big Nose George's Powder River gang and later Wyoming railroad crime. Coordinates center on Rock Springs as the anchor for southwest Wyoming train-robbery cache stories.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
