We continue to our search for filming locations for the
1966 film “Navajo Joe”. After the death of Geraldine we hear a whistle from the
train which Joe is bringing into the Esperanza station. The banker Blackwood
unlocks the cage door protecting the vault opens the safe and tells the other
citizens it’s all there. They then find out the telegraph line has been cut and
now believe what Joe has told them about Duncan and all his men would be coming
to get their hands on the money. The parson states that Esperanza is a peaceful
community and that there isn’t a gun in town. The citizens are at the mercy of
Duncan and his gang. Joe offers to help and demands a dollar a head from every
citizen for every bandit he kills plus the bounty for Duncan and his brother.
Doctor Lynne puts a stop to the proposal telling the towns people not to trust
him. Joe mounts his horse and tells the people someone in town helped Duncan
steal the train and that he’s working with him. He warns that he betrayed them
once and he could do it again. He then rides off. Dr. Lynne tells the men to
defend the train and he will ride to Wellington for help.
The scene takes place near Gaudix at the undiscovered
train station location.
