lose the hand to save a life

I have a vague memory of a movie most likely in the ’70s. Maybe set in the late 1800s or early to mid 1900s. The antagonist is handcuffed and on his way to be tried or incarcerated. I think he was in a train when for some reason it leaves the tracks and goes in to a body of water. Rather than drown he cuts his hand off. I think the rest of the movie centers on his gaining revenge. That’s all I can remember. Initially I thought Tony Curtis or Tony Randall but after looking at imdb I couldn’t find an answer.
