The Vanishers would first stop the target train by obstructing its tracks.{{book ref|mb4|3}} This would always occur at a position where the rail line came close to the canal it was built next to.{{book ref|mb4|11}} Earlier robberies would accomplish this with a fallen tree, later they would employ a ghostly train coming the opposite direction.{{book ref|mb4|3}} That particular illusion relied on a hand-powered train carriage with a wooden train engine facade and a powerful light attached. This light may have been battery powered. [[Mist]]s would help obscure the fake engine to aid the illusion. Once the train is stopped, they wold use a barge-mounted crane in the neighboring canal to swap the target car for an empty replica.{{book ref|mb4|17}} In this way, they are able to steal the cargo without leaving forced locks or dead guards on the train once it arrived at its destination.{{book ref|mb4|2}}
