There are three tents at the rail yard location where the gang of thugs is hanging out, including their leader, Horatio, who is armed with a Sawed-Off Shotgun, accompanied by one of his thugs, armed with a 10mm SMG. Other gang members are armed with a 10mm SMG, a Spear, and some Frag Grenades.

The gang is camping just northeast of Shady Sands.

Diplomatic resolution (Spoiler)

With CH 1 and IN 1 you can get this Quest and finish it by killing The Horatius Rail Line Gang, but if you are intelligent (IN 4), charismatic (CH 6) and eloquent (Speech 66) enough, you will get the dialog options to diplomatically resolve this Quest with the gang leader Horatio. No combat needed. If you don't have enough charisma and can't talk well enough, but you are fairly clever (Intelligence 4) and really strong (Strength 10) you also can convince him to take his gang and leave the place without any physical fight. <wip> worked with CH1 IN10 Speech 66</wip> Gunther will reward you with 3k XP instead of the usual 1k if you do so. If your negotiating skills are high enough (Barter 80), you can get a reward of 450 Caps from Fergus instead of the usual 300.
