The Bull Moose Special was an armored train used by coal companies during the Paint Creek-Cabin Creek Strike of 1912–13. It had machine guns and was used to protect trains carrying nonunion workers. On February 7, 1913, after strikers attacked a store and an ambulance, the train fired into a tent colony of sleeping miners and their families in Holly Grove. One striker, Cesco Estep, was killed while trying to protect his family. In response, angry miners attacked the mine guards’ camp nearby.
