Trouble is I don't think that's really supported in the adventure. I don't
think any of the gangers actually HAVE a rifle. I would try playing up the
fear of getting sniped. Pick out someone with some military or practical
weapons experience and have them make a shootin' roll with their smarts
die-type (or you make it for them). Then tell them that it occurs to them
how easy a target they would be crossing the rail in the light of day.
Make it sound like you are giving up tactical information to them rather
than trying to goad them into waiting 'til night fall.
If the posse thinks they are getting away with something they are very
un-likely to second guess the marshal.
