Then he saw a man moving between the second and third cars. Before Whitby could give a warning ? he was knocked down by two men. Mills was ordered to drive the train to a bridge that crossed a road. The last eleven cars with all the mailmen had been disconnected by the robbers. At the bridge,the bags of money were unloaded(卸下)from the train and thrown into waiting trucks. One of the robbers who obviously knew the schedules (时间表) of all the trains kept looking at his watch. At 3:45 he said,"That will have to be enough.
