Who was the most famous Railroad Bull?
I don't think the Texas Red mentioned in Arlo Guthrie's folk song was him. I know he was depicted in a movie once.
Update:
He was famous for dangling a heavy chain under the rail cars to bounce off the ties killing the man riding under the train.

Probably Allan Pinkerton, the founder of the Pinkerton Agency. He started one of the first (and largest) Railroad Police organizations in the US.
