T.W. Bullion is a character from Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
History[]
T.W. Bullion was a member of the Bullion mining family. T.W. operated a silver-mine in Virginia City, Nevada. In the 1880s, two shucksters named Theodore Oglive and Amos Tucker of the Halve Knives Gang posed as, "Metallurgists" to try and rob the mine. However, the gang only succeeded in stealing a few pieces of lead.
T.W. would go on to send the wanted-posters of the outlaws to their relative Barnabas T. Bullion of the Big Thunder Mining Company in Tumbleweed, Arizona. This would partly be as a warning but more predominately be to mock the gang.
