Black Jack Ketchum and other outlaws held up trains in Steins Pass on several occasions during the late 1880s and early 1890s. The town of Steins has always suffered for want of water supply. Early settlers caught and stored rainwater. The railroad drilled for water unsuccessfully and then resorted to the use of tank cars. The old buildings of Steins are slowly being restored and an interesting museum of artifacts from the town's past has been assembled.
Water still has to be trucked in.
