The Kelly gang had murdered police informer Aaron Sherritt in June 1880. Because of this, large numbers of police were expected to descend upon Glenrowan via the train, which was the best method for transporting a large group. Kelly knew that if he could lift the rail tracks, it would cause the train to crash and kill many of the expected police.

As is now known, the plan failed because the townsfolk were not willing to be part of the plan. After people were rounded up and held in the Glenrowan Inn so that they could not warn the train, a few trusted people were permitted to leave at nightfall. One of these was the local schoolteacher, Thomas Curnow, who ran ahead to warn of the danger awaiting the police - and this gave the police time to prepare.
