The gang is stopping a train by placing a cart with fake barrels labeled "TNT" across the tracks.While TNT was invented in 1863, as a yellow dye, its explosive properties were not recognized until three decades later. The first use of TNT as an explosive was in 1902, used in artillery shells.
Therefore, it would make no sense to write "TNT" on the barrels, since no one in the 1860's would associate it with explosives.Furthermore, TNT is very stable and quite difficult to set off without a detonator, such as a blasting cap. The train hitting the barrels with "TNT" would not cause a detonation.
