From 1898 to 1912, ordinary small-town Americans went to bed not knowing whether they would be lucky enough to wake up in the morning. During this time, the entire country was the hunting ground of the terrible, nameless and elusive "Man from the Train."

And then, without touching any money or valuables, he boarded the train again and continued his bloody journey. More than 100 victims.
