This rip-off of Porter's THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY -- you could not actually copyright a movie at this time, so there was no real protection for producers against plagiarism -- is generally supposed to be a scene-for-scene remake, but there are differences: the robbery itself is more violent, as the thieves knock out the guard on the train, then beat his body and throw him off the moving train. Don't worry.... to the modern eye, it is clearly a dummy. Also, the backgrounds are much more clearly stylized backdrops.
It is interesting to note that even at this stage, Lubin's cameraman was playing with framing technique: the brief dance scene uses some false arches to constrict the scene.
