- 00:13:00,154 --> 00:13:01,280
- Nicky?
- 165
- 00:13:02,323 --> 00:13:03,324
- Hello?
- 166
- 00:13:03,407 --> 00:13:05,076
- Listen, uh...
- 167
- 00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:07,078
- baby, look, I didn't forget.
- I was...
- 168
- 00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:29,392
- Frank, the stop blocks are up.
- Is there a problem?
- 169
- 00:13:29,517 --> 00:13:32,019
- No, there's no problem,
- except you got it backwards.
- 170
- 00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:36,148
- Turntable house goes on my end,
- you're on the ballast.
- 171
- 00:13:36,357 --> 00:13:37,775
- On my end.
- 172
- 00:13:37,858 --> 00:13:40,945
- Other than that, no problem.
- No problem at all.
- 173
- 00:13:51,455 --> 00:13:53,541
- Like I told you...
- 174
- 00:13:53,624 --> 00:13:55,918
- if you don't know something, just ask.
- That's all.
- 175
- 00:13:56,711 --> 00:13:58,129
- I got it.
- 176
- 00:13:58,713 --> 00:14:00,089
- I hope so.
- 177
- 00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:03,968
- Whatever.
- 178
- 00:14:04,969 --> 00:14:06,012
- Excuse me?
- 179
- 00:14:07,013 --> 00:14:10,099
- This shit, this "Let's make the new guy
- prove himself", bullshit.
- 180
- 00:14:10,933 --> 00:14:14,312
- I gotta tell you, I've heard it before
- and it gets old real fast.
- 181
- 00:14:14,395 --> 00:14:16,731
- Well, that's how it is
- at the retirement home.
- 182
- 00:14:21,485 --> 00:14:23,487
- Company wants to get rid
- of us old heads.
- 183
- 00:14:23,904 --> 00:14:27,616
- They give all the jobs
- to you new guys, you yellow vests.
- 184
- 00:14:28,075 --> 00:14:30,036
- I'm not trying to take anything
- from anybody.
- 185
- 00:14:30,119 --> 00:14:32,121
- As reassuring as that is...
- 186
- 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,041
- a lotta guys
- don't see it that way.
- 187
- 00:14:58,939 --> 00:15:01,275
- I'm here.
- I'm walking in right now.
- 188
- 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,944
- I got a car full of donuts
- for those kids.
- 189
- 00:15:05,196 --> 00:15:07,198
- - A coaster? What train?
- - Connie?
- 190
- 00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:09,116
- How the hell
- did this happen?
- 191
- 00:15:09,241 --> 00:15:10,326
- It just got away from me.
- 192
- 00:15:10,451 --> 00:15:12,370
- It got away from you?
- 193
- 00:15:12,495 --> 00:15:14,330
- It's a train, Dewey.
- Not a chipmunk.
- 194
- 00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:16,916
- I had to leave the cab
- to throw a switch.
- 195
- 00:15:16,999 --> 00:15:18,417
- - You left the cab?
- - Yeah.
- 196
- 00:15:18,501 --> 00:15:20,336
- - And, uh...
- - It gets worse, uh...
- 197
- 00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:24,298
- the air brakes weren't tied on.
- They aren't tied on, still.
- 198
- 00:15:25,091 --> 00:15:28,386
- We've got an unmanned train
- rolling into opposing traffic...
- 199
- 00:15:28,511 --> 00:15:29,418
- with no air brakes?
- 200
- 00:15:29,470 --> 00:15:30,544
- - is that what you're telling me?
- - I set...
- 201
- 00:15:30,596 --> 00:15:32,473
- the independent brakes.
- That'll for sure stop it.
- 202
- 00:15:32,556 --> 00:15:33,766
- How fast is it going?
- 203
- 00:15:33,808 --> 00:15:35,309
- - No more than 10 miles per hour.
- - Okay.
- 204
- 00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:37,103
- Jump on the hi-rail
- and go after it.
- 205
- 00:15:38,104 --> 00:15:40,439
- - Now!
- - Okay, ballbuster.
- 206
- 00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:50,825
- Call the field trip!
- 207
- 00:15:50,908 --> 00:15:52,201
- I don't care where they are
- on the main line...
- 208
- 00:15:52,284 --> 00:15:53,911
- they need to get
- into the nearest siding.
- 209
- 00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:57,498
- RS Campaign. RS Campaign.
- This is Fuller Yard. Do you copy?
- 210
- 00:16:01,335 --> 00:16:03,963
- RSC answering dispatch.
- How can I help you? Over.
- 211
- 00:16:04,338 --> 00:16:05,756
- RS Campaign.
- this is Fuller Yard.
- 212
- 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,758
- We've got unauthorized activity
- on your track.
- 213
- 00:16:07,842 --> 00:16:10,219
- We're gonna need you to divert
- to a siding at Portville.
- 214
- 00:16:12,513 --> 00:16:14,098
- Dispatch, please repeat.
- 215
- 00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:16,684
- Please repeat. Over.
- 216
- 00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:19,270
- What time is train time?
- 217
- 00:16:19,353 --> 00:16:20,855
- Anytime!
- 218
- 00:16:21,522 --> 00:16:23,899
- Divert to a siding in Portville.
- Do you copy?
- 219
- 00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:26,652
- I copy, I'll divert into the siding
- at Portville. Over.
- 220
- 00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:35,202
- Get me 777's
- cargo information.
- 221
- 00:16:35,286 --> 00:16:36,871
- I have to call corporate
- and report this.
- 222
- 00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:40,207
- Now, Dewey said
- he applied the independent.
- 223
- 00:16:40,291 --> 00:16:43,534
- so friction should stop the damn thing
- after a few miles.
- 224
- 00:16:43,586 --> 00:16:46,380
- Still, we need to alert every
- northbound train on the mainline.
- 225
- 00:16:46,464 --> 00:16:48,466
- First 20 miles of
- track take priority.
- 226
- 00:16:52,595 --> 00:16:53,971
- I don't care if
- you're talking about...
- 227
- 00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:55,723
- a spot weld on
- a Class 3 rip track...
- 228
- 00:16:55,806 --> 00:16:59,143
- or ground operations in Afghanistan,
- it's all about precision.
- 229
- 00:16:59,226 --> 00:17:00,478
- - Right.
- - Thank you.
- 230
- 00:17:00,561 --> 00:17:01,771
- Excuse me.
- 231
- 00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:02,938
- Sure.
- 232
- 00:17:04,106 --> 00:17:05,149
- Hello.
- 233
- 00:17:05,566 --> 00:17:06,692
- Ned, where are you?
- 234
- 00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:09,862
- Oh, Connie, hey.
- I'm just driving in now.
- 235
- 00:17:09,945 --> 00:17:11,197
- I got to go.
- 236
- 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,907
- How far are you
- from milepost 5?
- 237
- 00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:15,451
- Roughly six minutes,
- traffic contingent.
- 238
- 00:17:15,576 --> 00:17:17,370
- Great, I need you
- to haul ass over there...
- 239
- 00:17:17,453 --> 00:17:19,038
- and throw the siding switch.
- We got a coaster.
- 240
- 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,790
- - A coaster? Really?
- - Yeah.
- 241
- 00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:23,501
- It should roll past MP 5
- in about 15 minutes.
- 242
- 00:17:23,542 --> 00:17:25,086
- That should give you enough time
- to throw the switch...
- 243
- 00:17:25,169 --> 00:17:27,546
- get it off the mainline
- and onto that siding.
- 244
- 00:17:27,672 --> 00:17:29,090
- You want me to climb
- onboard and stop it?
- 245
- 00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:33,094
- What? No, no, no, we got 2 hostlers on the way.
- You just throw the switch, Ned.
- 246
- 00:17:33,219 --> 00:17:34,428
- Roger that.
- 247
- 00:17:35,221 --> 00:17:37,390
- You can always
- count on him to be late.
- 248
- 00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:39,517
- I'll see you later.
- 249
- 00:17:39,725 --> 00:17:40,726
- See you!
- 250
- 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,784
- What do we do when we get
- to a railroad crossing?
- 251
- 00:17:56,867 --> 00:18:00,579
- - Stop, look and listen!
- - I can't hear you!
- 252
- 00:18:00,663 --> 00:18:03,249
- Stop, look and listen!
- 253
- 00:18:25,271 --> 00:18:27,148
- You from Stanton?
- 254
- 00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:29,650
- - Born and raised.
- - Yeah?
- 255
- 00:18:30,818 --> 00:18:33,112
- My whole family's
- from Stanton.
- 256
- 00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:36,365
- Married?
- 257
- 00:18:37,241 --> 00:18:38,326
- Yeah.
- 258
- 00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:42,038
- Well, sort of.
- It's a long story.
- 259
- 00:18:42,121 --> 00:18:43,414
- We got a long day.
- 260
- 00:18:50,004 --> 00:18:51,756
- How about you?
- You married?
- 261
- 00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:54,008
- Short story. Once.
- 262
- 00:18:54,717 --> 00:18:57,553
- Got two beautiful daughters, though.
- 18. 19.
- 263
- 00:18:58,721 --> 00:19:01,265
- They are both waitressing,
- trying to work their way through college.
- 264
- 00:19:01,349 --> 00:19:02,808
- - Oh, yeah?
- - Yeah.
- 265
- 00:19:02,892 --> 00:19:04,852
- - Where at?
- - Hooters.
- 266
- 00:19:07,396 --> 00:19:10,566
- - Hooters. You know?
- - All right.
- 267
- 00:19:10,691 --> 00:19:13,361
- That's right. Hooters.
- Wipe that grin off your face.
- 268
- 00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:15,404
- - I'm a fan.
- - Yeah.
- 269
- 00:19:15,613 --> 00:19:16,697
- You're blushing.
- 270
- 00:19:20,868 --> 00:19:22,662
- I'm used to it.
- 271
- 00:19:23,955 --> 00:19:25,373
- I'm used to it.
- 272
- 00:19:32,546 --> 00:19:34,715
- Connie.
- Corporate on line 2.
- 273
- 00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:38,427
- This is Connie Hooper
- at Fuller Yard.
- 274
- 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,138
- I'll hold.
- 275
- 00:19:44,141 --> 00:19:45,935
- Did I hear right?
- You've got a coaster?
- 276
- 00:19:47,436 --> 00:19:49,105
- Yeah, this sort of thing happens.
- We're on it.
- 277
- 00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:50,856
- Won't it trip a relay?
- 278
- 00:19:51,524 --> 00:19:54,568
- Listen, I need to speak
- to Mr. Galvin directly.
- 279
- 00:19:56,529 --> 00:19:59,031
- I see, um... can you have him
- call me, then?
- 280
- 00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:01,826
- No, I'm about to review
- the cargo shipment myself.
- 281
- 00:20:04,787 --> 00:20:05,830
- Who the hell are you?
- 282
- 00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:07,623
- I'm here for the
- Railroad Safety Campaign.
- 283
- 00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:11,335
- Scott Werner. FRA Region 2.
- Federal Safety Inspector.
- 284
- 00:20:11,419 --> 00:20:12,962
- I'm supposed to give a presentation
- to the children...
- 285
- 00:20:13,087 --> 00:20:15,715
- - go over some basic stuff.
- - That's great. Hey, Bunny? Bunny!
- 286
- 00:20:15,798 --> 00:20:16,924
- Can you help me out here?
- 287
- 00:20:17,008 --> 00:20:18,509
- Okay, see this guy right there?
- 288
- 00:20:18,592 --> 00:20:20,720
- - He's gonna tell you where to start. Okay?
- - Track geometry, alignment...
- 289
- 00:20:20,803 --> 00:20:21,846
- - Thank you so much.
- - I brought some gauges...
- 290
- 00:20:21,929 --> 00:20:24,015
- The kids are gonna
- love that, it's great.
- 291
- 00:20:43,117 --> 00:20:45,953
- God damn it.
- Where the hell is this thing?
- 292
- 00:20:53,628 --> 00:20:57,131
- Bunny? I need to know exactly
- what's in cars 7 to 10.
- 293
- 00:20:57,214 --> 00:20:58,841
- Get a hold of
- the shipper, please.
- 294
- 00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:08,476
- Are you kidding me?
- 295
- 00:21:15,608 --> 00:21:16,692
- Where's the train?
- 296
- 00:21:16,776 --> 00:21:18,361
- Where does it look like
- the goddamn train is?
- 297
- 00:21:18,402 --> 00:21:19,820
- - It's not here!
- - What're you doing out here?
- 298
- 00:21:19,945 --> 00:21:21,614
- Do I look like I got a train
- hidden in my back pocket?
- 299
- 00:21:21,739 --> 00:21:24,533
- - Bunny, get me Connie. It's Ned.
- - Get behind us, jackass.
- 300
- 00:21:24,825 --> 00:21:26,452
- - Did you get here too late?
- - Don't give me that shit.
- 301
- 00:21:26,535 --> 00:21:28,746
- You two numbnuts
- are always screwing up.
- 302
- 00:21:28,829 --> 00:21:29,695
- You switched the track...
- 303
- 00:21:29,747 --> 00:21:31,624
- that was supposed to get the train
- on the right track.
- 304
- 00:21:31,832 --> 00:21:33,084
- Connie? Yeah, it's Ned.
- 305
- 00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:34,408
- Did you throw
- that switch yet?
- 306
- 00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:36,994
- Yeah, six minutes ago.
- but your train, it's not here.
- 307
- 00:21:37,046 --> 00:21:39,131
- I thought it might be going
- a little slower than you guessed,
- 308
- 00:21:39,183 --> 00:21:40,716
- but these two numbnuts
- that you sent...
- 309
- 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,259
- they just showed up
- and they ain't seen it, either.
- 310
- 00:21:42,311 --> 00:21:43,678
- Are you saying
- our train's already passed?
- 311
- 00:21:43,803 --> 00:21:45,596
- Yes, ma'am.
- That'd be my guess.
- 312
- 00:21:46,222 --> 00:21:48,099
- It's not a coaster.
- That train's under power.
- 313
- 00:21:48,182 --> 00:21:49,558
- That'd be my guess, too.
- 314
- 00:21:50,726 --> 00:21:51,686
- Put Dewey on the phone.
- 315
- 00:21:51,769 --> 00:21:53,813
- Sure. She wants to talk to you,
- asshole.
- 316
- 00:21:54,689 --> 00:21:56,732
- - Yeah.
- - I need you to rally every cell...
- 317
- 00:21:56,784 --> 00:21:57,640
- in that brain of yours.
- 318
- 00:21:57,692 --> 00:21:58,776
- When you applied
- the independent...
- 319
- 00:21:58,859 --> 00:22:01,195
- was the throttle
- in the forward position?
- 320
- 00:22:01,362 --> 00:22:03,114
- Yeah, I had to get it moving!
- 321
- 00:22:03,197 --> 00:22:05,616
- In what position
- was the throttle set?
- 322
- 00:22:07,201 --> 00:22:08,703
- Damn it, Dewey what position?
- 323
- 00:22:10,705 --> 00:22:13,791
- Connie, the throttle
- was in notch 8. Full power.
- 324
- 00:22:13,874 --> 00:22:16,043
- Okay? It was 39 cars!
- 325
- 00:22:21,465 --> 00:22:22,466
- Okay.
- 326
- 00:22:22,550 --> 00:22:24,844
- Take the southbound track.
- Catch up.
- 327
- 00:22:24,927 --> 00:22:27,555
- See if it's still going slow enough
- for one of you to climb on.
- 328
- 00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:31,809
- You got until... milepost 13
- before the track splits.
- 329
- 00:22:31,892 --> 00:22:33,185
- Let me talk to Ned again.
- 330
- 00:22:37,064 --> 00:22:38,983
- Nice job, asshole!
- 331
- 00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:44,447
- Ned, I want you to get back in your car
- and follow the mainline. Okay?
- 332
- 00:22:44,530 --> 00:22:46,032
- I want a set of eyes
- on that train.
- 333
- 00:22:46,115 --> 00:22:47,908
- You got it.
- Roger that.
- 334
- 00:22:59,211 --> 00:23:00,379
- I can't hear you!
- 335
- 00:23:00,504 --> 00:23:03,799
- Railroad Safety Campaign!
- 336
- 00:24:02,149 --> 00:24:03,609
- You're good.
- 337
- 00:24:05,486 --> 00:24:07,113
- Keep it coming, 50.
- 338
- 00:24:09,657 --> 00:24:10,908
- 20 feet.
- 339
- 00:24:11,409 --> 00:24:12,576
- Slow down.
- 340
- 00:24:14,662 --> 00:24:16,664
- All right, you're good.
- 341
- 00:24:32,013 --> 00:24:33,472
- - Yeah.
- - What's going on?
- 342
- 00:24:34,015 --> 00:24:35,391
- You got a minute?
- 343
- 00:24:40,062 --> 00:24:41,439
- I thought he said
- it was looking good.
- 344
- 00:24:42,606 --> 00:24:43,816
- That's what he thought.
- 345
- 00:24:44,191 --> 00:24:46,402
- Turns out the judge they assigned
- was a real hard-ass.
- 346
- 00:24:47,528 --> 00:24:48,529
- You gotta be kidding me.
- 347
- 00:24:48,612 --> 00:24:51,657
- Look, the restraining order
- is being continued for another 30 days.
- 348
- 00:24:51,741 --> 00:24:53,951
- Thirty days? What am I
- supposed to do for 30 days?
- 349
- 00:24:54,035 --> 00:24:55,369
- Stay away from my kid?
- 350
- 00:24:55,453 --> 00:24:57,496
- And then there's another hearing
- after that, I guess.
- 351
- 00:24:59,874 --> 00:25:02,043
- What's taking you
- so long, Will?
- 352
- 00:25:02,209 --> 00:25:03,836
- You call that lawyer, you can tell him,
- he can stick it up his ass.
- 353
- 00:25:04,879 --> 00:25:06,631
- - I gotta go.
- - Will, pick up the radio.
- 354
- 00:25:07,131 --> 00:25:10,134
- Will, pick up the radio.
- Over.
- 355
- 00:25:11,552 --> 00:25:12,637
- Are you there?
- 356
- 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,721
- Yeah. Yes.
- 357
- 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,786
- Get off the phone,
- knock off the hand brakes...
- 358
- 00:25:16,838 --> 00:25:18,893
- get up here. It's time to go.
- We got work to do.
- 359
- 00:25:19,101 --> 00:25:20,186
- Copy.
- 360
- 00:25:32,615 --> 00:25:33,699
- No, it's definitely
- under power.
- 361
- 00:25:33,783 --> 00:25:35,242
- We're not sure of
- the exact speed yet.
- 362
- 00:25:35,576 --> 00:25:38,204
- I thought all these trains
- had some sort of dead-man brake.
- 363
- 00:25:38,287 --> 00:25:40,456
- There's a wand the engineer
- has to hit periodically...
- 364
- 00:25:40,539 --> 00:25:42,166
- or the air brakes are
- automatically applied.
- 365
- 00:25:42,249 --> 00:25:44,794
- Unfortunately, this train's air brakes
- were disconnected.
- 366
- 00:25:45,086 --> 00:25:48,547
- Sir, I would gladly explain the particulars
- of locomotive operation to you...
- 367
- 00:25:48,631 --> 00:25:51,592
- if we had time, but right now
- I really need your assistance...
- 368
- 00:25:51,676 --> 00:25:53,469
- posting officers at
- all the mainline crossings.
- 369
- 00:25:53,521 --> 00:25:54,762
- I only have one question.
- 370
- 00:25:55,596 --> 00:25:57,264
- How do you all plan
- to stop it?
- 371
- 00:25:58,724 --> 00:26:00,017
- We're working on it.
- 372
- 00:26:02,269 --> 00:26:04,146
- Go, go, go!
- The split's coming up!
- 373
- 00:26:12,697 --> 00:26:14,344
- Are you sure
- you can do this?
- 374
- 00:26:14,396 --> 00:26:15,992
- Just get
- alongside of the cab.
- 375
- 00:26:22,206 --> 00:26:23,374
- Get up alongside of it!
- 376
- 00:26:23,582 --> 00:26:24,750
- I'm trying!
- 377
- 00:26:28,963 --> 00:26:30,339
- Go, go, go!
- 378
- 00:26:34,802 --> 00:26:36,178
- Remember, we don't have
- a lot of track!
- 379
- 00:26:43,144 --> 00:26:45,062
- You got it. Go. go!
- 380
- 00:26:47,857 --> 00:26:49,275
- Dewey!
- 381
- 00:26:49,442 --> 00:26:51,319
- It's too fast! Back it up!
- 382
- 00:26:51,485 --> 00:26:53,863
- Come on, Dewey! Go back!
- 383
- 00:27:03,247 --> 00:27:05,291
- Jump, Gilleece! Do it!
- 384
- 00:27:05,374 --> 00:27:07,168
- Get in! Watch out!
- 385
- 00:27:11,797 --> 00:27:13,966
- So now what the hell
- we gonna do?
- 386
- 00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:31,067
- How many cars are we
- supposed to cut in?
- 387
- 00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:34,779
- Twenty. Why?
- 388
- 00:27:34,862 --> 00:27:36,238
- Twenty cars, okay.
- 389
- 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,407
- See the switch stand
- up ahead of us?
- 390
- 00:27:38,532 --> 00:27:39,987
- The switch stand, yeah?
- Yeah?
- 391
- 00:27:41,118 --> 00:27:43,663
- Take a look in the rear view mirror.
- You see the one behind us?
- 392
- 00:27:44,121 --> 00:27:45,620
- Way back there. You see it?
- 393
- 00:27:46,207 --> 00:27:49,335
- There's exactly 21 cars
- between the two stands.
- 394
- 00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:50,461
- Don't ask me how I know.
- 395
- 00:27:50,836 --> 00:27:52,380
- So why is it that there...
- 396
- 00:27:52,505 --> 00:27:55,466
- there's still more than four and a half cars
- that are yet to clear?
- 397
- 00:27:58,386 --> 00:27:59,553
- Because I...
- 398
- 00:28:00,012 --> 00:28:00,972
- Excuse me?
- 399
- 00:28:01,055 --> 00:28:02,848
- Because I cut...
- Because what?
- 400
- 00:28:02,932 --> 00:28:04,308
- I cut in too many cars.
- 401
- 00:28:04,392 --> 00:28:06,018
- Cut in too many cars, huh?
- 402
- 00:28:06,435 --> 00:28:08,104
- Maybe if you weren't on my ass
- the whole time.
- 403
- 00:28:08,187 --> 00:28:10,189
- I might be able to think straight
- and do my job.
- 404
- 00:28:10,398 --> 00:28:11,440
- What do you mean.
- "Maybe, if I"...
- 405
- 00:28:11,482 --> 00:28:13,359
- - You been on my ass this whole trip!
- - You're blaming it on me?
- 406
- 00:28:13,442 --> 00:28:15,027
- I'm just saying,
- pick a goddamn job!
- 407
- 00:28:15,152 --> 00:28:16,529
- I got my job!
- You pick one!
- 408
- 00:28:16,654 --> 00:28:18,698
- I pull the throttle, you pull the pin!
- It's one or the other!
- 409
- 00:28:18,823 --> 00:28:20,283
- You're five pins too many.
- 410
- 00:28:20,366 --> 00:28:22,285
- Pull the pins.
- You're right, pull the pins.
- 411
- 00:28:22,368 --> 00:28:23,661
- I had my training!
- All right?
- 412
- 00:28:23,744 --> 00:28:26,289
- Yeah, but we're out here in the real world.
- This ain't training.
- 413
- 00:28:26,414 --> 00:28:29,250
- In training, they just give you an F.
- Out here, you get killed.
- 414
- 00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:31,127
- - I screwed up, okay?
- - Yes, you did.
- 415
- 00:28:31,210 --> 00:28:32,920
- Stop and roll back
- and I'll cut the empties.
- 416
- 00:28:33,004 --> 00:28:34,005
- Roll back?
- 417
- 00:28:35,715 --> 00:28:37,091
- Oh, Lord.
- 418
- 00:28:37,258 --> 00:28:38,801
- We can't stop out here
- on the main.
- 419
- 00:28:38,843 --> 00:28:40,094
- We're more than a mile
- out on the main...
- 420
- 00:28:40,177 --> 00:28:41,470
- more than a mile
- to the next stop.
- 421
- 00:28:41,554 --> 00:28:45,016
- You don't take a consist this size
- that distance in reverse.
- 422
- 00:28:47,268 --> 00:28:49,729
- Fine. Then we'll, uh...
- we'll make the turn at the next siding.
- 423
- 00:28:49,854 --> 00:28:51,981
- The next siding's
- not for 10 miles.
- 424
- 00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:54,150
- We do that, we're late.
- I don't run late.
- 425
- 00:28:54,275 --> 00:28:56,027
- Just green-sheet it
- and we'll move on.
- 426
- 00:28:56,110 --> 00:28:57,507
- Come on, we green-sheet it
- and it's my ass!
- 427
- 00:28:57,559 --> 00:28:58,904
- - Cut me some slack.
- - What do you mean...
- 428
- 00:28:58,988 --> 00:29:00,615
- ...it's your ass?
- You're a Colson.
- 429
- 00:29:00,698 --> 00:29:01,782
- What the hell's that
- supposed to mean?
- 430
- 00:29:01,834 --> 00:29:02,867
- That means
- you can call your uncle...
- 431
- 00:29:02,950 --> 00:29:04,118
- - ...and they'll take care of it.
- - Is that what this is about?
- 432
- 00:29:04,201 --> 00:29:07,371
- - No, it's about the 5 cars too many.
- - We're gonna stop, roll back...
- 433
- 00:29:07,423 --> 00:29:08,414
- and cut those empties!
- 434
- 00:29:08,497 --> 00:29:10,791
- This may be your engine,
- but it's my goddamn train.
- 435
- 00:29:10,843 --> 00:29:13,085
- - Yes, it is your train.
- - I'm the goddamn conductor!
- 436
- 00:29:13,210 --> 00:29:14,962
- - That's true.
- - 1206, check in.
- 437
- 00:29:15,046 --> 00:29:16,505
- I'll write you up
- and green-sheet your ass.
- 438
- 00:29:16,557 --> 00:29:17,580
- - Will you?
- - How about that?
- 439
- 00:29:17,632 --> 00:29:20,968
- 1206, this is dispatch.
- What's your location? Over.
- 440
- 00:29:21,135 --> 00:29:22,887
- - Something's funny?
- - No.
- 441
- 00:29:22,970 --> 00:29:24,805
- What the hell you're laughing at?
- What are you laughing at?
- 442
- 00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:27,308
- Because it's funny.
- You're a funny guy.
- 443
- 00:29:27,516 --> 00:29:30,686
- Well-trained, but funny.
- Yeah, this is 1206.
- 444
- 00:29:32,396 --> 00:29:34,440
- We're 60 miles
- from Wilkins, uh...
- 445
- 00:29:34,482 --> 00:29:36,108
- 40 minutes out of Fuller Yard.
- 446
- 00:29:36,275 --> 00:29:38,611
- Negative. 1206.
- Clear your train at the next siding...
- 447
- 00:29:38,736 --> 00:29:40,529
- ...until further instructed.
- Over.
- 448
- 00:29:40,613 --> 00:29:41,687
- What's up?
- 449
- 00:29:41,739 --> 00:29:45,117
- There's an unmanned train out of Fuller,
- on the northbound track. Over.
- 450
- 00:29:46,953 --> 00:29:48,704
- On our track?
- 451
- 00:29:49,413 --> 00:29:50,446
- A coaster?
- 452
- 00:29:50,498 --> 00:29:52,041
- 1206, we don't have
- all the details yet.
- 453
- 00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:54,335
- Just proceed to the next siding
- and hold tight. Over.
- 454
- 00:29:54,418 --> 00:29:56,170
- Next siding's
- not for 10 miles.
- 455
- 00:29:57,046 --> 00:29:58,506
- Affirmative, 1206.
- 456
- 00:29:58,589 --> 00:30:00,174
- Just get in that
- siding and sit tight...
- 457
- 00:30:00,257 --> 00:30:01,425
- until we give you
- the all-clear. Over.
- 458
- 00:30:01,509 --> 00:30:02,927
- Affirmative.
- 459
- 00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:07,974
- It's coming right at us.
- 460
- 00:30:16,983 --> 00:30:20,695
- More word on that runaway
- freight train in rural Pennsylvania.
- 461
- 00:30:20,861 --> 00:30:23,197
- The train, A WVR-777,
- 462
- 00:30:23,281 --> 00:30:25,366
- otherwise known as Triple 7,
- 463
- 00:30:25,449 --> 00:30:27,535
- left Fuller Yard in northern PA...
- 464
- 00:30:27,576 --> 00:30:29,578
- sometime before 8:00 am.
- this morning...
- 465
- 00:30:29,787 --> 00:30:31,414
- and no one was onboard.
- 466
- 00:30:31,539 --> 00:30:34,031
- Live, local, late-breaking.
- 467
- 00:30:34,083 --> 00:30:37,044
- The engineer, they say,
- made an error in controlling the train.
- 468
- 00:30:37,253 --> 00:30:38,671
- Before leaving
- the locomotive,
- 469
- 00:30:38,754 --> 00:30:40,881
- he intended to apply
- the independent brakes.
- 470
- 00:30:40,965 --> 00:30:42,883
- And then by the time
- he realized his mistake,
- 471
- 00:30:43,009 --> 00:30:45,720
- the train was going too fast
- for him to climb back on.
- 472
- 00:30:46,053 --> 00:30:47,555
- We're being told
- now by a spokesperson...
- 473
- 00:30:47,722 --> 00:30:49,223
- for the Public Utilities Commission...
- 474
- 00:30:49,307 --> 00:30:51,976
- that this employee
- will be held accountable.
- 475
- 00:31:00,901 --> 00:31:02,153
- - Connie?
- - Yeah.
- 476
- 00:31:02,236 --> 00:31:05,031
- Headquarters is on the phone.
- It's Galvin.
- 477
- 00:31:12,288 --> 00:31:13,748
- Mr. Galvin, how are you?
- 478
- 00:31:13,831 --> 00:31:15,249
- Goddamn it.
- How could this happen?
- 479
- 00:31:15,666 --> 00:31:19,629
- It's an unfortunate combination
- of human error and bad luck.
- 480
- 00:31:19,712 --> 00:31:20,838
- Luck?
- 481
- 00:31:20,921 --> 00:31:23,257
- I was a yardmaster
- for 10 years, Ms. Hooper.
- 482
- 00:31:23,341 --> 00:31:25,217
- Luck has no business
- in a rail yard.
- 483
- 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,303
- What are we worried about
- in terms of cargo?
- 484
- 00:31:27,345 --> 00:31:29,430
- Well, obviously,
- the diesel fuel's a concern.
- 485
- 00:31:29,513 --> 00:31:31,265
- No, I said cargo.
- 486
- 00:31:31,432 --> 00:31:32,975
- Okay, well, cars 7 through 10...
- 487
- 00:31:33,017 --> 00:31:35,936
- and 16 through 19 are carrying
- a chemical called molten phenol.
- 488
- 00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:38,064
- We're still trying to connect
- with the shipper...
- 489
- 00:31:38,147 --> 00:31:39,649
- to determine
- exactly what that is.
- 490
- 00:31:39,732 --> 00:31:41,609
- It's used in
- the manufacture of glue.
- 491
- 00:31:41,661 --> 00:31:43,444
- Can you hold on
- one moment?
- 492
- 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,571
- You know about
- molten phenol?
- 493
- 00:31:45,696 --> 00:31:46,948
- Yes.
- 494
- 00:31:49,241 --> 00:31:52,203
- Mr. Galvin, we have an
- FRA inspector here.
- 495
- 00:31:52,286 --> 00:31:53,579
- May I put you on speaker?
- 496
- 00:31:57,124 --> 00:32:00,711
- Region 2 Federal Safety Inspector Scott Werner.
- How can I help?
- 497
- 00:32:00,763 --> 00:32:02,838
- Just tell me what you know
- about molten phenol.
- 498
- 00:32:03,464 --> 00:32:08,511
- Well, it's serious stuff.
- Very toxic, highly combustible.
- 499
- 00:32:08,594 --> 00:32:09,637
- Oh, that's terrific.
- 500
- 00:32:09,804 --> 00:32:11,420
- Hooper, get state police
- back on the line.
- 501
- 00:32:11,472 --> 00:32:13,474
- Make sure they got a Haz-Mat team
- briefed and ready.
- 502
- 00:32:13,933 --> 00:32:16,519
- And ask them to put a
- spotter chopper over Triple 7.
- 503
- 00:32:16,602 --> 00:32:18,510
- I take it you've sided
- all rail traffic?
- 504
- 00:32:18,562 --> 00:32:20,523
- On our end, yes.
- Brewster's notifying its own.
- 505
- 00:32:20,564 --> 00:32:21,816
- Sir...
- 506
- 00:32:22,066 --> 00:32:23,359
- how are we gonna
- handle this?
- 507
- 00:32:23,484 --> 00:32:25,236
- I mean, this train
- is en route to pass...
- 508
- 00:32:25,319 --> 00:32:27,394
- through some
- highly populated areas.
- 509
- 00:32:27,446 --> 00:32:30,950
- We're having a strategy call
- in about... two minutes.
- 510
- 00:32:31,367 --> 00:32:34,328
- - All right, I'll be ready.
- - You won't be on the call, Ms. Hooper.
- 511
- 00:32:35,121 --> 00:32:37,394
- - Excuse me?
- - Yeah, you'll be advised.
- 512
- 00:32:37,446 --> 00:32:39,667
- For now, coordinate
- with local authorities.
- 513
- 00:32:39,709 --> 00:32:42,878
- God knows we gotta have over
- 100 crossings that need to be secured.
- 514
- 00:32:42,962 --> 00:32:45,006
- One hundred
- and seventy-three.
- 515
- 00:32:45,172 --> 00:32:46,799
- Railroad crossings.
- 516
- 00:32:46,882 --> 00:32:49,927
- Between here and AWVR
- substation in Brewster.
- 517
- 00:32:50,094 --> 00:32:52,430
- Listen, uh... Mr. Galvin...
- 518
- 00:32:53,306 --> 00:32:58,394
- this train is half a mile long
- and is traveling at speed into population...
- 519
- 00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:00,938
- with eight freight cars of
- hazardous chemicals...
- 520
- 00:33:00,990 --> 00:33:03,441
- and 5, 000 gallons
- of diesel fuel.
- 521
- 00:33:03,524 --> 00:33:06,068
- Sir, we're not just talking
- about a train here.
- 522
- 00:33:06,193 --> 00:33:09,905
- We're talking about a missile,
- the size of the Chrysler Building.
- 523
- 00:33:09,957 --> 00:33:11,490
- So, what is your point, Ms. Hooper?
- 524
- 00:33:11,574 --> 00:33:13,701
- My point is
- after it crosses through Findlay...
- 525
- 00:33:13,753 --> 00:33:16,193
- there's about 12 miles
- of vacant farmland.
- 526
- 00:33:16,245 --> 00:33:19,498
- but after that, it's nothing
- but town after town...
- 527
- 00:33:19,582 --> 00:33:20,791
- all the way to Stanton.
- 528
- 00:33:20,875 --> 00:33:22,293
- We have a very limited
- window here.
- 529
- 00:33:22,418 --> 00:33:24,629
- So, what are you suggesting we do,
- derail it?
- 530
- 00:33:25,421 --> 00:33:26,839
- Yes sir, I am.
- 531
- 00:33:27,798 --> 00:33:29,091
- While we still can.
- 532
- 00:33:36,015 --> 00:33:38,934
- Mr. Galvin, I understand that's gonna
- cost the company a lot of money...
- 533
- 00:33:38,976 --> 00:33:40,478
- Do you think?
- 534
- 00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:44,148
- Ms. Hooper, we're not gonna intentionally
- destroy one of our own trains.
- 535
- 00:33:44,231 --> 00:33:45,941
- Not when we can still
- stop it.
- 536
- 00:33:46,150 --> 00:33:47,141
- We can avoid...
- 537
- 00:33:47,193 --> 00:33:48,319
- - I'm gonna extend to you...
- - a lot of collateral...
- 538
- 00:33:48,371 --> 00:33:49,393
- my last ounce of good will...
- 539
- 00:33:49,445 --> 00:33:51,447
- and pretend this conversation
- never happened.
- 540
- 00:33:57,036 --> 00:33:58,537
- He thinks I'm worried
- about my job.
- 541
- 00:34:06,712 --> 00:34:08,714
- Ma'am,
- please stay in your van.
- 542
- 00:34:09,215 --> 00:34:11,092
- - Come on.
- - Please get back into the van.
- 543
- 00:34:11,258 --> 00:34:12,718
- Can you please tell us
- what's going on?
- 544
- 00:34:12,770 --> 00:34:14,126
- Every crossing's
- closed off for 20 miles.
- 545
- 00:34:14,178 --> 00:34:16,180
- Ma'am, for your safety,
- please get back into your van.
- 546
- 00:34:16,222 --> 00:34:17,369
- I'm not getting
- back in the vehicle.
- 547
- 00:34:17,421 --> 00:34:18,516
- We need to know
- what's going on.
- 548
- 00:34:39,870 --> 00:34:42,248
- Guys, get outta there.
- There's a train coming.
- 549
- 00:34:42,873 --> 00:34:44,166
- Hurry!
- 550
- 00:34:45,126 --> 00:34:46,544
- Hurry! It's coming!
- 551
- 00:34:48,254 --> 00:34:50,298
- Come on.
- We gotta go.
- 552
- 00:34:50,506 --> 00:34:52,300
- Get outta there! Move it!
- 553
- 00:34:58,723 --> 00:35:00,516
- Get outta the way!
- 554
- 00:35:44,602 --> 00:35:46,020
- 1206 to dispatch. Over.
- 555
- 00:35:47,104 --> 00:35:48,272
- - What's wrong?
- - What's wrong?
- 556
- 00:35:48,356 --> 00:35:50,024
- We're not gonna fit in that siding.
- That's what's wrong.
- 557
- 00:35:50,107 --> 00:35:51,942
- 1206 to dispatch. Over.
- 558
- 00:35:52,443 --> 00:35:54,028
- 1206, are you
- in the siding yet?
- 559
- 00:35:54,236 --> 00:35:55,655
- What's your location?
- 560
- 00:35:55,905 --> 00:35:58,616
- No, we're not in the hole.
- We're not gonna make it, can't do it.
- 561
- 00:35:58,866 --> 00:35:59,992
- Too much train.
- 562
- 00:36:00,076 --> 00:36:01,744
- I'm gonna need you
- to realign the switch...
- 563
- 00:36:01,827 --> 00:36:03,412
- so we can proceed
- to the next siding.
- 564
- 00:36:03,496 --> 00:36:05,623
- 1206, you have to get off
- the main. Over.
- 565
- 00:36:05,706 --> 00:36:07,792
- I understand that,
- but you gotta understand this.
- 566
- 00:36:07,875 --> 00:36:08,918
- We're not going to fit.
- 567
- 00:36:09,043 --> 00:36:10,419
- 1206, stand by.
- 568
- 00:36:10,503 --> 00:36:13,547
- That siding's a good
- 3.000 feet, end to end.
- 569
- 00:36:13,673 --> 00:36:14,966
- Check your timetable...
- 570
- 00:36:15,049 --> 00:36:17,969
- it's gonna tell you
- the siding is 4,111 feet.
- 571
- 00:36:18,052 --> 00:36:19,720
- But that's
- signal to signal.
- 572
- 00:36:19,929 --> 00:36:22,848
- In reality,
- it's more like 2.500 feet.
- 573
- 00:36:22,932 --> 00:36:24,892
- You add those five cars
- that you picked up...
- 574
- 00:36:24,976 --> 00:36:26,060
- We can fit.
- 575
- 00:36:26,185 --> 00:36:27,269
- No, we won't fit.
- 576
- 00:36:28,270 --> 00:36:29,897
- Dispatch, this is 1206.
- 577
- 00:36:29,981 --> 00:36:31,649
- Can you tell me where
- the nearest rip track is?
- 578
- 00:36:31,732 --> 00:36:35,027
- 1206, there's one in 6.2 miles.
- How fast are you going?
- 579
- 00:36:35,569 --> 00:36:36,988
- 55 miles an hour.
- 580
- 00:36:37,196 --> 00:36:38,698
- 1206, go faster. Over.
- 581
- 00:36:39,198 --> 00:36:40,700
- Why? Is that coaster
- still on the main?
- 582
- 00:36:40,825 --> 00:36:44,996
- 1206, Triple 7 is not a coaster.
- I repeat, it is not a coaster. Over.
- 583
- 00:36:46,163 --> 00:36:47,748
- You're telling me
- it's under power?
- 584
- 00:36:47,915 --> 00:36:49,750
- Get in the goddamn siding.
- 585
- 00:36:51,085 --> 00:36:53,254
- 1206, stand by.
- 586
- 00:36:58,551 --> 00:37:01,387
- 1206, if you're going for it,
- that rip track is confirmed vacant.
- 587
- 00:37:01,762 --> 00:37:03,180
- It's your call, Frank.
- 588
- 00:37:03,264 --> 00:37:04,932
- We need to throw the switch
- if you're staying on.
- 589
- 00:37:05,099 --> 00:37:07,601
- We're not staying on!
- Pull the brake, Frank.
- 590
- 00:37:07,685 --> 00:37:08,894
- We pull the brake and side up.
- I crash.
- 591
- 00:37:08,978 --> 00:37:10,146
- I know what the hell I'm doing.
- 592
- 00:37:10,229 --> 00:37:12,315
- - Bullshit! You're gonna get us killed.
- - Hey!
- 593
- 00:37:12,732 --> 00:37:14,942
- 1206, I need an answer.
- Over.
- 594
- 00:37:16,777 --> 00:37:18,362
- Realign the switch.
- 595
- 00:37:18,696 --> 00:37:19,905
- Over.
- 596
- 00:37:38,966 --> 00:37:42,011
- The train was just going
- with no one in it. Just took off.
- 597
- 00:37:42,178 --> 00:37:43,387
- We were yelling on
- the radio earlier,
- 598
- 00:37:43,471 --> 00:37:44,722
- there's a runaway
- train coming through.
- 599
- 00:37:44,805 --> 00:37:46,515
- It could be coming
- to our town next...
- 600
- 00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:48,559
- and the high school's right next
- to those train tracks.
- 601
- 00:37:48,643 --> 00:37:49,894
- Just a few moments ago,
- 602
- 00:37:49,977 --> 00:37:51,937
- a train came barreling down
- these tracks...
- 603
- 00:37:52,104 --> 00:37:53,898
- We're still going over
- the numbers, but...
- 604
- 00:37:53,939 --> 00:37:58,319
- should 777 derail...
- we're looking at a major disaster.
- 605
- 00:37:58,444 --> 00:38:00,446
- If even one of those
- Haz-Mat cars blew...
- 606
- 00:38:00,613 --> 00:38:02,657
- it could easily decimate
- an entire town.
- 607
- 00:38:02,740 --> 00:38:04,773
- That train is carrying
- eight of 'em.
- 608
- 00:38:04,825 --> 00:38:07,161
- Can you please explain to our viewers
- what you witnessed...
- 609
- 00:38:07,244 --> 00:38:10,790
- Environmental liability, track damage,
- car and locomotive loss.
- 610
- 00:38:11,916 --> 00:38:15,795
- We're looking at a projected cost
- easily over 100 million dollars.
- 611
- 00:38:15,962 --> 00:38:17,964
- And the resulting
- stock devaluation?
- 612
- 00:38:18,047 --> 00:38:23,010
- Our projections indicate it could be
- in the... 30 to 40% range.
- 613
- 00:38:23,986 --> 00:38:25,554
- I say we go with Mr. Galvin's option.
- 614
- 00:38:27,848 --> 00:38:29,850
- I've already prepped
- our substation in Brewster.
- 615
- 00:38:29,902 --> 00:38:31,102
- They just need a go-ahead.
- 616
- 00:38:31,686 --> 00:38:33,187
- You have it.
- 617
- 00:38:35,606 --> 00:38:37,525
- Okay, everybody out.
- 618
- 00:38:38,359 --> 00:38:39,308
- Hoffman, you stay here.
- 619
- 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,530
- Baker, get me a track schematic,
- Fuller to Stanton, please.
- 620
- 00:38:56,335 --> 00:38:57,586
- This is Owens.
- 621
- 00:38:58,212 --> 00:39:01,841
- 71, 70, 71 on the gun.
- 622
- 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,137
- So the red means?
- 623
- 00:39:06,220 --> 00:39:07,763
- Triple 7 blew through a signal.
- 624
- 00:39:07,847 --> 00:39:09,640
- Everything in red means
- trouble on the mainline.
- 625
- 00:39:09,724 --> 00:39:11,100
- That's a lotta red.
- 626
- 00:39:11,225 --> 00:39:13,102
- Connie,
- Mr. Galvin on line 2.
- 627
- 00:39:16,355 --> 00:39:17,898
- This is Connie Hooper.
- 628
- 00:39:18,232 --> 00:39:20,609
- Have all the mainline crossings
- been closed?
- 629
- 00:39:21,068 --> 00:39:23,362
- Uh... yes, I've been
- coordinating with PSP.
- 630
- 00:39:23,571 --> 00:39:24,947
- Do we have
- a strategy in place?
- 631
- 00:39:24,999 --> 00:39:26,532
- It's already underway.
- 632
- 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,670
- By the activity level
- behind me,
- 633
- 00:39:39,754 --> 00:39:42,757
- it is evident that a plan to stop
- the runaway train is underway.
- 634
- 00:39:43,382 --> 00:39:46,844
- But so far, no one at AWVR
- is commenting.
- 635
- 00:39:51,015 --> 00:39:53,934
- We just witnessed
- AWVR employee Ryan Scott...
- 636
- 00:39:53,986 --> 00:39:55,561
- boarding one of
- the rescue helicopters.
- 637
- 00:39:55,853 --> 00:39:59,690
- He is a 22-year-old Marine vet
- who has just returned from Afghanistan.
- 638
- 00:40:04,153 --> 00:40:07,406
- - What the hell is this?
- - I need a police escort now!
- 639
- 00:40:10,534 --> 00:40:12,912
- - It says here you're a welder.
- - Lead welder.
- 640
- 00:40:12,995 --> 00:40:14,789
- Listen, buddy.
- I don't have a lotta time.
- 641
- 00:40:14,872 --> 00:40:17,083
- Look, you can call my yardmaster,
- Connie Hooper!
- 642
- 00:40:22,296 --> 00:40:24,382
- - Connie sent you?
- - That's what I said.
- 643
- 00:40:24,434 --> 00:40:25,716
- I need your help.
- 644
- 00:40:34,684 --> 00:40:36,102
- 1206, this is dispatch.
- 645
- 00:40:36,185 --> 00:40:39,522
- 1206, we ran the math.
- At over 2,000, you wouldn't fit.
- 646
- 00:40:40,272 --> 00:40:41,565
- Good call. Over.
- 647
- 00:40:42,441 --> 00:40:45,611
- Thank you, but I need to know
- where that oncoming train is.
- 648
- 00:40:45,987 --> 00:40:47,613
- How far away is it?
- 649
- 00:40:47,905 --> 00:40:49,740
- 1206, we're not exactly sure.
- 650
- 00:40:49,824 --> 00:40:51,826
- You're not sure?
- Well, find out!
- 651
- 00:40:56,330 --> 00:40:59,250
- I'm high above central Pennsylvania,
- where this train got away...
- 652
- 00:40:59,292 --> 00:41:02,336
- Emergency responders want to halt
- all activity near the line...
- 653
- 00:41:02,420 --> 00:41:04,234
- and possibly
- evacuate all homes...
- 654
- 00:41:04,286 --> 00:41:06,048
- within a mile
- radius of the tracks.
- 655
- 00:41:06,173 --> 00:41:09,176
- There's thousands of gallons
- of fuel onboard, which is highly flammable.
- 656
- 00:41:09,260 --> 00:41:11,304
- But we're still
- awaiting word on that.
- 657
- 00:41:20,354 --> 00:41:22,064
- This is Galvin's strategy?
- 658
- 00:41:29,030 --> 00:41:31,449
- Looks like they're putting
- a train in front of Triple 7...
- 659
- 00:41:31,532 --> 00:41:32,742
- in an attempt
- to slow it down.
- 660
- 00:41:35,911 --> 00:41:38,164
- Now, they are sending a chopper
- with Ryan Scott...
- 661
- 00:41:38,247 --> 00:41:41,042
- and the railroad company
- is still refusing to comment.
- 662
- 00:41:53,804 --> 00:41:57,266
- We've just learned that 26-year
- rail company veteran Judd Stewart...
- 663
- 00:41:57,318 --> 00:41:58,856
- is at the controls
- of the engine...
- 664
- 00:41:58,908 --> 00:42:00,394
- that is in front
- of the runaway train.
- 665
- 00:42:25,002 --> 00:42:26,295
- This is Connie Hooper
- from Fuller Yard.
- 666
- 00:42:26,379 --> 00:42:27,922
- Is this your guy
- coming off the helicopter?
- 667
- 00:42:40,309 --> 00:42:41,978
- Still holding at 55.
- 668
- 00:42:42,186 --> 00:42:44,063
- Get her down to 40
- and keep braking.
- 669
- 00:43:20,975 --> 00:43:22,393
- Oh, shit!
- 670
- 00:43:35,906 --> 00:43:37,825
- That's it. Keep going.
- Keep slowing.
- 671
- 00:43:37,950 --> 00:43:40,161
- Get her down to 40
- and we'll set our boy down.
- 672
- 00:43:54,050 --> 00:43:55,426
- Unbelievable!
- 673
- 00:43:55,885 --> 00:43:57,053
- Do this!
- 674
- 00:43:57,303 --> 00:43:58,335
- Come on.
- 675
- 00:43:58,387 --> 00:44:00,097
- This is incredibly dangerous...
- 676
- 00:44:13,653 --> 00:44:15,655
- Do this, Judd.
- Come on!
- 677
- 00:44:25,706 --> 00:44:27,541
- I'm under 40.
- Is he on yet?
- 678
- 00:44:30,711 --> 00:44:32,004
- Now!
- 679
- 00:44:51,732 --> 00:44:53,818
- It looks like
- Marine Ryan Scott has been injured.
- 680
- 00:44:53,870 --> 00:44:56,028
- - It's a no-go.
- - Slow down!
- 681
- 00:44:56,237 --> 00:44:59,573
- Just keep braking. Try to slow it.
- Try to get 777 off the main.
- 682
- 00:45:01,117 --> 00:45:02,702
- Switch has been thrown.
- 683
- 00:45:13,796 --> 00:45:15,381
- Slow down.
- Goddamn it!
- 684
- 00:45:20,594 --> 00:45:23,055
- Don't side it yet!
- It's going too fast.
- 685
- 00:45:40,906 --> 00:45:42,325
- Bail! Bail! Bail!
- 686
- 00:46:00,092 --> 00:46:01,761
- Holy shit!
- 687
- 00:46:03,304 --> 00:46:05,097
- Maybe it derailed.
- 688
- 00:46:07,601 --> 00:46:10,436
- I can't believe
- how crazy that was.
- 689
- 00:46:10,895 --> 00:46:13,230
- Oh, my God!
- Galvin, you asshole!
- 690
- 00:46:39,340 --> 00:46:41,842
- Fuller Yard.
- Fuller Yard. This is 1206.
- 691
- 00:46:42,009 --> 00:46:45,638
- We're passing milepost 5-2.
- heading northbound on the Main 1.
- 692
- 00:46:45,846 --> 00:46:47,306
- 1206, who am I
- speaking with?
- 693
- 00:46:47,390 --> 00:46:48,975
- Frank Barnes, the engineer.
- 694
- 00:46:49,058 --> 00:46:50,977
- This is Connie Hooper,
- yardmaster at Fuller.
- 695
- 00:46:51,060 --> 00:46:53,187
- Why are you still
- on the mainline?
- 696
- 00:46:53,270 --> 00:46:55,481
- We were directed to a siding
- that's a no-go.
- 697
- 00:46:55,564 --> 00:46:59,277
- We're heading to a rip track
- just past milepost 5-0.
- 698
- 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,821
- We need to know the location
- of your yard's train.
- 699
- 00:47:01,946 --> 00:47:05,574
- It just passed milepost 47.
- 700
- 00:47:05,866 --> 00:47:07,451
- Holy shit.
- 701
- 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,796
- They tried to side it, but it jumped
- the switch and derailed the lash-up.
- 702
- 00:47:19,046 --> 00:47:21,299
- Lash-up?
- Who was driving?
- 703
- 00:47:21,340 --> 00:47:24,176
- The engineer,
- a 26-year rail company veteran,
- 704
- 00:47:24,260 --> 00:47:27,596
- was killed earlier today in
- Keating Summit, central Pennsylvania.
- 705
- 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:28,639
- Judd Stewart.
- 706
- 00:47:29,807 --> 00:47:31,017
- Stewart?
- 707
- 00:47:31,934 --> 00:47:33,144
- You said Stewart?
- 708
- 00:47:33,686 --> 00:47:35,604
- Judd Stewart,
- an engineer from Brewster.
- 709
- 00:47:41,277 --> 00:47:42,361
- You know him?
- 710
- 00:47:51,245 --> 00:47:52,622
- What's your power
- on the point?
- 711
- 00:47:54,165 --> 00:47:56,459
- 5.000 horses.
- She's not a hotshot...
- 712
- 00:47:56,542 --> 00:47:59,545
- but she's, uh...
- still got some life left in her. Over.
- 713
- 00:47:59,712 --> 00:48:02,715
- Give her all you got. Tell Galvin
- we got two guys out on the mainline...
- 714
- 00:48:02,767 --> 00:48:04,300
- about to play chicken
- with our train.
- 715
- 00:48:12,933 --> 00:48:14,644
- - We tried to stop it. We blew it.
- - What?
- 716
- 00:48:14,685 --> 00:48:15,936
- That train's gotta go down.
- 717
- 00:48:16,145 --> 00:48:17,897
- The only question is
- how to minimize the damage.
- 718
- 00:48:18,022 --> 00:48:18,929
- Quiet!
- 719
- 00:48:18,981 --> 00:48:21,651
- We just learned there is yet
- another train on this track,
- 720
- 00:48:21,817 --> 00:48:23,694
- headed directly
- at the runaway.
- 721
- 00:48:24,195 --> 00:48:25,738
- What the hell is this?
- 722
- 00:48:26,322 --> 00:48:29,033
- We gotta learn about it
- on damn TV?
- 723
- 00:48:45,007 --> 00:48:47,134
- Nicole, Nicole. Listen, don't hang up.
- Don't hang up.
- 724
- 00:48:47,218 --> 00:48:49,637
- - Dad, I'm busy. Okay?
- - Okay, I understand.
- 725
- 00:48:50,262 --> 00:48:52,452
- - Dad?
- - I just wanna tell you that I love you,
- 726
- 00:48:52,504 --> 00:48:54,642
- - that's all.
- - Okay, fine! Dad, what's wrong?
- 727
- 00:48:54,725 --> 00:48:56,978
- Nothing, nothing.
- I just...
- 728
- 00:48:59,438 --> 00:49:01,065
- Dad, what's wrong?
- 729
- 00:49:01,274 --> 00:49:04,443
- Just tell your sister I love you both.
- Okay? I gotta go.
- 730
- 00:49:06,570 --> 00:49:07,822
- What's wrong?
- 731
- 00:49:19,041 --> 00:49:20,824
- 1206, how you're holding up?
- 732
- 00:49:20,876 --> 00:49:23,160
- About a half a mile
- from that rip track. Over.
- 733
- 00:49:23,212 --> 00:49:26,173
- Chances are you're gonna see
- Triple 7's nose any minute now.
- 734
- 00:49:26,340 --> 00:49:27,591
- Affirmative.
- 735
- 00:49:41,188 --> 00:49:42,513
- Why you're braking?
- 736
- 00:49:42,565 --> 00:49:45,651
- Trust me. If we head in this hot,
- we'll tear right off the track.
- 737
- 00:49:47,987 --> 00:49:49,447
- Oh, Jesus.
- 738
- 00:49:54,493 --> 00:49:56,704
- Get her down to 40
- and brace yourself.
- 739
- 00:50:00,249 --> 00:50:02,752
- You need to get at least
- 10 cars into the siding.
- 740
- 00:50:09,383 --> 00:50:10,593
- Yes!
- 741
- 00:50:47,338 --> 00:50:50,299
- Frank, go to 6.
- Frank, go to 6.
- 742
- 00:50:51,258 --> 00:50:52,510
- Yeah, I'm at 6. Go.
- 743
- 00:50:53,344 --> 00:50:54,804
- They're evacuating Arklow.
- 744
- 00:50:55,513 --> 00:50:56,847
- They're gonna
- derail the train.
- 745
- 00:50:57,807 --> 00:50:58,766
- What are they using?
- 746
- 00:50:58,849 --> 00:51:00,810
- Standard DRE.
- 747
- 00:51:01,227 --> 00:51:02,687
- Yeah,
- a portable derailer.
- 748
- 00:51:07,775 --> 00:51:09,235
- What are you doing?
- 749
- 00:51:09,318 --> 00:51:11,904
- I got a look at that train's
- last coupler knuckle, it was open.
- 750
- 00:51:12,863 --> 00:51:14,907
- We take off right now,
- we get back on the main,
- 751
- 00:51:14,991 --> 00:51:16,284
- we can chase it
- down in reverse.
- 752
- 00:51:16,575 --> 00:51:17,785
- Chase?
- Wait a minute!
- 753
- 00:51:17,910 --> 00:51:20,413
- The only way to stop that kind
- of power, grab it by the tail...
- 754
- 00:51:20,496 --> 00:51:22,206
- boom, gun it in
- the opposite direction.
- 755
- 00:51:22,290 --> 00:51:23,416
- We can't just chase it down.
- If it goes down...
- 756
- 00:51:23,499 --> 00:51:24,625
- we're gonna be
- a wreck on a wreck.
- 757
- 00:51:25,793 --> 00:51:29,380
- Doesn't matter. There's a good chance
- the derailer won't work.
- 758
- 00:51:29,672 --> 00:51:31,841
- It's called a derailer,
- for Christ's sake!
- 759
- 00:51:31,924 --> 00:51:33,301
- - That's what they do!
- - A train that size...
- 760
- 00:51:33,426 --> 00:51:36,470
- going that fast, it will vaporize
- anything that gets in its way.
- 761
- 00:51:36,522 --> 00:51:37,847
- Bullshit!
- They wouldn't use it, if it...
- 762
- 00:51:37,972 --> 00:51:40,391
- They're wrong, all right?
- They're wrong.
- 763
- 00:51:41,267 --> 00:51:42,435
- Are you in or are you out?
- 764
- 00:51:42,518 --> 00:51:44,770
- You wanna get yourself killed,
- you do it alone.
- 765
- 00:51:44,854 --> 00:51:46,814
- You know what?
- Ask your wife what she thinks.
- 766
- 00:51:47,648 --> 00:51:48,816
- Wait!
- 767
- 00:51:52,778 --> 00:51:54,697
- If you're right
- and that derailer fails...
- 768
- 00:51:54,780 --> 00:51:56,407
- what are the odds
- it makes it to Stanton?
- 769
- 00:51:56,824 --> 00:51:59,118
- You saw the train.
- What do you think?
- 770
- 00:52:25,186 --> 00:52:27,605
- 1206, this is Connie Hooper.
- Are you there?
- 771
- 00:52:29,315 --> 00:52:30,775
- 1206. Over.
- 772
- 00:52:30,858 --> 00:52:32,526
- Just wanted to see
- how you boys are doing.
- 773
- 00:52:35,613 --> 00:52:38,157
- We're doing about
- 60 mile an hour, Connie.
- 774
- 00:52:38,866 --> 00:52:41,201
- Sorry?
- Frank, I don't understand.
- 775
- 00:52:41,253 --> 00:52:43,537
- We're going
- after your train.
- 776
- 00:52:43,621 --> 00:52:45,738
- 1206, I'm not hearing you.
- 777
- 00:52:45,790 --> 00:52:47,083
- The rear knuckle
- was left open...
- 778
- 00:52:47,166 --> 00:52:49,877
- so, if we can catch up, we can tie it
- on to our locomotive...
- 779
- 00:52:49,961 --> 00:52:51,587
- try and slow down Triple 7.
- 780
- 00:52:52,004 --> 00:52:54,006
- - Frank. you can't.
- - We already are.
- 781
- 00:52:54,048 --> 00:52:55,841
- Portable derailer's
- not gonna cut it, Connie.
- 782
- 00:52:56,175 --> 00:52:58,010
- Who said anything
- about a derailer?
- 783
- 00:52:58,552 --> 00:53:01,430
- Dispatch, they said
- that they're evacuating Arklow.
- 784
- 00:53:01,482 --> 00:53:02,723
- Two plus two is four.
- 785
- 00:53:04,100 --> 00:53:05,643
- - It's Ned. He said he's still following...
- - No, no, no.
- 786
- 00:53:05,695 --> 00:53:07,770
- Tell him I'll call him back.
- Get me Galvin, now.
- 787
- 00:53:07,853 --> 00:53:12,149
- Frank, that train's carrying
- 30.000 gallons of toxic chemicals.
- 788
- 00:53:12,191 --> 00:53:15,987
- They had a window before, but that
- train's going into populated areas.
- 789
- 00:53:16,039 --> 00:53:17,405
- There's no way
- they'd derail it now.
- 790
- 00:53:19,657 --> 00:53:20,950
- Are you sure about that?
- 791
- 00:53:22,743 --> 00:53:24,370
- Look, let me
- make some calls.
- 792
- 00:53:24,453 --> 00:53:26,372
- Make some calls, please.
- 793
- 00:53:36,215 --> 00:53:37,800
- What do you think?
- Do you think they can catch up?
- 794
- 00:53:38,926 --> 00:53:41,220
- Possibly.
- But even if they do...
- 795
- 00:53:41,304 --> 00:53:44,807
- we're talking about coupling at 10
- times the normal speed, in reverse.
- 796
- 00:53:45,808 --> 00:53:47,643
- I thought you were
- in favour of derailment.
- 797
- 00:53:47,727 --> 00:53:50,021
- Yeah, when they were in the
- middle of nowhere, not now.
- 798
- 00:53:50,104 --> 00:53:51,606
- It's just town
- after town out there!
- 799
- 00:53:51,689 --> 00:53:53,441
- Mr. Galvin says he'd
- have to call you back.
- 800
- 00:53:53,524 --> 00:53:55,610
- This is Connie Hooper
- for Mr. Galvin.
- 801
- 00:53:55,693 --> 00:53:56,944
- Mr. Galvin
- is in a meeting.
- 802
- 00:53:57,069 --> 00:54:00,281
- Then maybe you can tell me.
- Is the company planning on derailing Triple 7?
- 803
- 00:54:00,364 --> 00:54:02,867
- Last I heard.
- Galvin was dead set against it.
- 804
- 00:54:02,950 --> 00:54:04,702
- I'm sorry, I'd really like
- to help you, Ms. Hooper.
- 805
- 00:54:04,785 --> 00:54:06,370
- But I'm not at liberty
- to give you that information.
- 806
- 00:54:06,454 --> 00:54:08,789
- No, of course
- you're not at liberty to.
- 807
- 00:54:09,248 --> 00:54:10,791
- Frank's right.
- 808
- 00:54:17,548 --> 00:54:20,301
- What's the fastest you've
- taken a single engine like this?
- 809
- 00:54:20,885 --> 00:54:22,011
- - Unattached?
- - Yeah.
- 810
- 00:54:22,094 --> 00:54:23,429
- 50, 55.
- 811
- 00:54:25,014 --> 00:54:26,807
- Of course.
- I was going forward.
- 812
- 00:54:27,058 --> 00:54:28,434
- 1206, you there?
- 813
- 00:54:28,851 --> 00:54:30,478
- This is 1206. Over.
- 814
- 00:54:30,519 --> 00:54:32,261
- Frank, you're right.
- 815
- 00:54:32,313 --> 00:54:34,732
- About the derailment,
- they're, uh...
- 816
- 00:54:34,857 --> 00:54:36,567
- they're planning an attempt
- outside of Arklow.
- 817
- 00:54:39,779 --> 00:54:41,614
- Tell them idiots
- it ain't gonna work.
- 818
- 00:54:41,656 --> 00:54:43,449
- That portable derailer,
- it's worthless.
- 819
- 00:54:43,501 --> 00:54:44,909
- She already told us.
- 820
- 00:54:45,993 --> 00:54:49,288
- Frank, this is Oscar Galvin,
- VP of Operations...
- 821
- 00:54:49,413 --> 00:54:52,541
- patched in at his request,
- open mike.
- 822
- 00:54:52,875 --> 00:54:57,296
- Yeah, we are derailing Triple 7, Frank.
- It's a done decision.
- 823
- 00:54:57,380 --> 00:54:59,882
- Like it or not, it's our best option
- at this stage.
- 824
- 00:54:59,966 --> 00:55:02,385
- There's less collateral damage
- in Arklow.
- 825
- 00:55:02,551 --> 00:55:03,970
- It's already being evacuated...
- 826
- 00:55:04,053 --> 00:55:06,701
- and we can't let Triple 7
- make it to Stanton.
- 827
- 00:55:06,753 --> 00:55:09,350
- Look, Mr. Galvin,
- with all due respect...
- 828
- 00:55:09,402 --> 00:55:10,977
- I've been railroading
- 28 years.
- 829
- 00:55:11,686 --> 00:55:14,105
- I'm telling you, we got a real chance
- to stop this thing.
- 830
- 00:55:14,188 --> 00:55:16,023
- No, we already tried.
- 831
- 00:55:16,107 --> 00:55:19,110
- That was from the front.
- We're long hood lead back.
- 832
- 00:55:19,277 --> 00:55:22,655
- It's a different situation.
- We got more control now.
- 833
- 00:55:25,199 --> 00:55:28,035
- What if I cancel the derailer
- and you fail, Frank?
- 834
- 00:55:28,703 --> 00:55:30,538
- That train will be doing
- 70 miles an hour...
- 835
- 00:55:30,621 --> 00:55:32,707
- into that elevated S-curve
- in Stanton.
- 836
- 00:55:32,873 --> 00:55:35,001
- The damage will
- be 100 times worse.
- 837
- 00:55:35,084 --> 00:55:39,255
- Right, I'm just telling you,
- the portable derailer is worthless.
- 838
- 00:55:39,380 --> 00:55:42,300
- You got too much train
- traveling entirely too fast.
- 839
- 00:55:42,883 --> 00:55:45,886
- Maybe 1206 should just
- stay on it as a backup.
- 840
- 00:55:45,928 --> 00:55:50,057
- Look, I am not jeopardizing
- more personnel and more property...
- 841
- 00:55:50,141 --> 00:55:53,352
- just because some engineer
- wants to play hero.
- 842
- 00:55:53,436 --> 00:55:55,104
- End of discussion!
- 843
- 00:55:55,396 --> 00:55:58,232
- That train is our property.
- It's our decision!
- 844
- 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,528
- Now you stop your pursuit
- or I will fire you!
- 845
- 00:56:02,945 --> 00:56:05,656
- Fire?
- You already did.
- 846
- 00:56:10,036 --> 00:56:11,287
- Already did what?
- 847
- 00:56:12,788 --> 00:56:14,457
- You already fired me.
- 848
- 00:56:15,666 --> 00:56:20,338
- I received my 90-day notice
- in the mail... 72 days ago.
- 849
- 00:56:21,088 --> 00:56:23,591
- Forced early retirement,
- half benefits.
- 850
- 00:56:31,182 --> 00:56:34,477
- So you're gonna risk your life for us
- with three weeks left.
- 851
- 00:56:36,646 --> 00:56:37,980
- Not for you.
- 852
- 00:56:39,774 --> 00:56:41,400
- I'm not doing it for you.
- 853
- 00:56:42,818 --> 00:56:45,488
- Frank!
- Let me see that thing.
- 854
- 00:56:49,909 --> 00:56:52,620
- Mr. Galvin, this is Will Colson,
- your conductor.
- 855
- 00:56:55,790 --> 00:56:58,042
- I'm letting you know,
- we're gonna run this bitch down.
- 856
- 00:56:59,085 --> 00:57:03,089
- Maybe you didn't hear
- what I just said, Colson. I will fire you!
- 857
- 00:57:04,006 --> 00:57:08,761
- Well, that's too bad.
- I was just starting to like this job.
- 858
- 00:57:10,805 --> 00:57:15,434
- Goddamn it, you listen to me!
- You son of a bitch! You will be fired!
- 859
- 00:57:15,486 --> 00:57:19,105
- You're breaking up.
- Sorry, you're...
- 860
- 00:57:23,442 --> 00:57:26,612
- - This garbage is not gonna...
- - Sir, I think they're gone.
- 861
- 00:57:30,032 --> 00:57:31,784
- This is your
- headache now, Hooper.
- 862
- 00:57:31,993 --> 00:57:36,038
- Now you get them off the main or
- consider yourself shit-canned, too!
- 863
- 00:57:37,873 --> 00:57:39,000
- I like them.
- 864
- 00:57:39,917 --> 00:57:41,877
- Bring up Beech Siding
- to Arklow.
- 865
- 00:57:42,545 --> 00:57:45,423
- Take a look behind me, you can see
- emergency evacuation measures...
- 866
- 00:57:45,475 --> 00:57:48,592
- are currently in effect right here
- in the tiny town of Arklow.
- 867
- 00:57:54,390 --> 00:57:56,100
- The lash-up was a no-go.
- 868
- 00:58:00,813 --> 00:58:03,649
- 1206 to Fuller Yard.
- Connie, are you there? Over.
- 869
- 00:58:03,774 --> 00:58:06,402
- Frank, I'm real sorry
- about Galvin.
- 870
- 00:58:06,527 --> 00:58:08,362
- That's okay.
- Listen, listen. Is he off?
- 871
- 00:58:08,446 --> 00:58:09,447
- Yeah, he's gone.
- 872
- 00:58:09,572 --> 00:58:10,823
- Okay, listen up.
- 873
- 00:58:11,115 --> 00:58:12,439
- I'm gonna need you
- to do us a favour.
- 874
- 00:58:12,491 --> 00:58:16,537
- I need you to keep us posted
- on the speed and location of Triple 7.
- 875
- 00:58:16,621 --> 00:58:18,331
- Location and speed.
- Over.
- 876
- 00:58:20,625 --> 00:58:21,834
- Connie?
- 877
- 00:58:24,170 --> 00:58:26,589
- Frank, Triple 7's
- 9 miles out of Arklow.
- 878
- 00:58:26,641 --> 00:58:27,715
- You got some
- catching up to do.
- 879
- 00:58:27,767 --> 00:58:29,258
- 9 miles out of Arklow.
- 880
- 00:58:44,732 --> 00:58:46,651
- What did you say
- your wife's first name was?
- 881
- 00:58:46,734 --> 00:58:47,777
- Darcy.
- 882
- 00:58:47,860 --> 00:58:49,904
- So, what was the long story
- you didn't want to make long?
- 883
- 00:58:52,990 --> 00:58:54,659
- I come home from work
- two weeks ago...
- 884
- 00:58:54,742 --> 00:58:56,702
- and she's, uh...
- she's texting on the phone.
- 885
- 00:58:56,786 --> 00:58:59,455
- I ask her who with,
- she says, "Nobody".
- 886
- 00:59:00,122 --> 00:59:01,832
- I say, "Let me see the phone".
- She says no.
- 887
- 00:59:01,916 --> 00:59:04,377
- This goes on
- five or six times.
- 888
- 00:59:04,502 --> 00:59:06,963
- Wait, you're losing me.
- She's texting...
- 889
- 00:59:07,213 --> 00:59:08,839
- There's this guy
- we both went to school with.
- 890
- 00:59:08,923 --> 00:59:11,092
- He's a cop.
- He's a PA state trooper.
- 891
- 00:59:11,175 --> 00:59:13,302
- He's always had a thing
- for Darcy. Going...
- 892
- 00:59:13,511 --> 00:59:15,346
- - way back.
- - 1206, where are you?
- 893
- 00:59:15,554 --> 00:59:19,350
- 1206 here, Connie.
- We're just passing milepost 5-7.
- 894
- 00:59:19,433 --> 00:59:21,102
- You're about
- a mile and a half behind.
- 895
- 00:59:23,479 --> 00:59:25,481
- How far out of Arklow
- is Triple 7?
- 896
- 00:59:25,564 --> 00:59:28,192
- 7 and a half miles. It picked up speed.
- You better step on it.
- 897
- 00:59:28,276 --> 00:59:30,528
- I'm stepping on it, in it, around it
- and through it, Connie.
- 898
- 00:59:30,611 --> 00:59:31,946
- Thank you. Over.
- 899
- 00:59:33,281 --> 00:59:36,951
- She's texting on the phone. I keep on
- asking for it, she keeps on saying no.
- 900
- 00:59:38,077 --> 00:59:40,288
- She starts to walk
- away and I grab for it.
- 901
- 00:59:41,372 --> 00:59:43,124
- - You hit her?
- - No, no, no.
- 902
- 00:59:45,293 --> 00:59:48,212
- I mean, I scared her,
- but I didn't... I didn't hit her.
- 903
- 00:59:50,089 --> 00:59:51,924
- Anyway, I drive
- to this guy's house...
- 904
- 00:59:52,008 --> 00:59:53,551
- and tell him we need to talk,
- let's take a ride.
- 905
- 00:59:53,634 --> 00:59:55,469
- He jumps in my truck
- and starts in with,
- 906
- 00:59:55,553 --> 00:59:58,055
- "You got it all wrong.
- We're just friends".
- 907
- 00:59:58,139 --> 01:00:00,266
- Then he stops once he sees...
- 908
- 01:00:01,100 --> 01:00:02,973
- ...the gun I got sitting on the dash.
- 909
- 01:00:05,354 --> 01:00:08,649
- I look him in the eye and said,
- "She's my wife, you find a new friend".
- 910
- 01:00:08,733 --> 01:00:10,109
- You pulled a gun on a cop?
- 911
- 01:00:10,192 --> 01:00:11,569
- Frank?
- 912
- 01:00:11,652 --> 01:00:14,822
- Frank, Triple 7
- just passed milepost 61.
- 913
- 01:00:16,115 --> 01:00:17,325
- Thank you, Connie.
- 914
- 01:00:17,408 --> 01:00:19,327
- - You wanna hear the kicker?
- - Yes, I do.
- 915
- 01:00:20,620 --> 01:00:23,664
- It wasn't even him that was texting her.
- It was my sister-in-law.
- 916
- 01:00:25,249 --> 01:00:27,918
- Anyway, by the time I got home,
- his buddy's waiting for me...
- 917
- 01:00:28,002 --> 01:00:30,921
- just waiting to serve me
- with this restraining order.
- 918
- 01:00:33,299 --> 01:00:34,759
- Darcy wouldn't even
- look at me.
- 919
- 01:00:38,220 --> 01:00:40,848
- So I'm living
- with my brother.
- 920
- 01:00:40,931 --> 01:00:44,018
- There was a hearing today.
- The judge ordered a 30-day extension.
- 921
- 01:00:47,396 --> 01:00:50,191
- It's like one day
- everything's going okay...
- 922
- 01:00:50,900 --> 01:00:52,610
- and the next,
- it's all falling apart faster...
- 923
- 01:00:52,693 --> 01:00:53,945
- than you can
- put it back together.
- 924
- 01:00:54,028 --> 01:00:56,322
- Yeah.
- Never too late, though.
- 925
- 01:01:06,207 --> 01:01:09,126
- The plan to derail
- this 39-car runaway train...
- 926
- 01:01:09,210 --> 01:01:10,920
- is just minutes away now.
- 927
- 01:01:11,003 --> 01:01:13,047
- There's a tremendous amount
- of activity going on.
- 928
- 01:01:13,130 --> 01:01:16,258
- Will this train be able
- to be stopped?
- 929
- 01:01:18,636 --> 01:01:21,681
- 1206, Connie. We're just passing
- milepost 6-2.
- 930
- 01:01:21,764 --> 01:01:23,182
- Milepost 6-2, over.
- 931
- 01:01:23,265 --> 01:01:24,892
- Still a mile gap,
- maybe more.
- 932
- 01:01:24,976 --> 01:01:26,727
- We're not gaining on her, Frank.
- 933
- 01:01:27,144 --> 01:01:28,896
- Hold on.
- 934
- 01:01:34,235 --> 01:01:36,112
- It's just like
- the shooting range!
- 935
- 01:01:36,195 --> 01:01:39,699
- All right, here we go! Come on!
- Let's go! This is it! It's game time!
- 936
- 01:01:44,662 --> 01:01:47,498
- Remember, we're aiming
- for the red circular button!
- 937
- 01:01:52,586 --> 01:01:53,671
- Now!
- 938
- 01:01:56,090 --> 01:01:59,719
- Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
- You're shooting the fuel cap. Goddamn it!
- 939
- 01:01:59,802 --> 01:02:01,178
- Hold your fire!
- 940
- 01:02:01,262 --> 01:02:03,848
- We were aiming to disable it
- by firing shotgun rounds...
- 941
- 01:02:03,931 --> 01:02:08,269
- at a fuel stop safety switch,
- and so some shots were fired.
- 942
- 01:02:08,352 --> 01:02:11,272
- That safety switch
- is a mighty small target.
- 943
- 01:02:11,355 --> 01:02:13,774
- And it's right next
- to a fuel tank.
- 944
- 01:02:18,613 --> 01:02:20,531
- We're not gonna catch
- it before Arklow.
- 945
- 01:02:20,615 --> 01:02:23,618
- Frank, you're closing the gap.
- You should cut your speed.
- 946
- 01:02:23,743 --> 01:02:26,037
- Allow yourself some
- stopping distance. Just in case.
- 947
- 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,831
- No can do, Connie. If we slow down now,
- we'll never catch it.
- 948
- 01:02:28,914 --> 01:02:30,374
- Not before Stanton. Over.
- 949
- 01:02:30,458 --> 01:02:31,792
- It's your call.
- 950
- 01:02:32,627 --> 01:02:35,963
- However, we have now also learned
- that two railroad employees...
- 951
- 01:02:36,047 --> 01:02:40,468
- are now in pursuit of train 7-7-7
- in a single locomotive.
- 952
- 01:02:40,551 --> 01:02:41,927
- It is unclear
- what their plan is...
- 953
- 01:02:42,011 --> 01:02:44,722
- Connie Hooper for you.
- 954
- 01:02:44,805 --> 01:02:47,934
- Did I or did I not tell you
- to get 1206 off the main?
- 955
- 01:02:48,225 --> 01:02:49,644
- I asked them nicely.
- 956
- 01:02:55,983 --> 01:02:58,319
- You're 100% sure
- that derailer won't work?
- 957
- 01:02:58,402 --> 01:03:00,780
- Yes. 100%?
- No.
- 958
- 01:03:00,863 --> 01:03:01,989
- Which one is it?
- 959
- 01:03:04,867 --> 01:03:06,911
- - 50-50.
- - Pretty funny.
- 960
- 01:03:06,994 --> 01:03:09,121
- And if it does?
- 961
- 01:03:09,205 --> 01:03:13,000
- If it does, then...
- we're a wreck on a wreck.
- 962
- 01:03:14,502 --> 01:03:16,420
- I'm here with FRA
- official Gene Devereaux.
- 963
- 01:03:16,504 --> 01:03:18,631
- This train is getting close.
- How is this going to work?
- 964
- 01:03:18,714 --> 01:03:21,258
- Well, basically,
- it works like a ramp.
- 965
- 01:03:22,468 --> 01:03:23,678
- The train comes along,
- 966
- 01:03:23,761 --> 01:03:27,640
- this piece here will lift the flange
- and pull it outside the rail.
- 967
- 01:03:27,723 --> 01:03:31,769
- That will cause the train
- to flip over on its right-hand side.
- 968
- 01:03:31,852 --> 01:03:33,562
- Son of a bitch
- won't even know what hit it.
- 969
- 01:03:41,862 --> 01:03:43,739
- Train's about
- four minutes out!
- 970
- 01:03:43,823 --> 01:03:45,199
- Guys, come on.
- Get it started!
- 971
- 01:03:45,741 --> 01:03:46,951
- Guys, come on!
- 972
- 01:04:09,932 --> 01:04:10,975
- It has not succeeded!
- 973
- 01:04:11,027 --> 01:04:11,892
- What?
- 974
- 01:04:12,018 --> 01:04:13,269
- What in the hell was that?
- 975
- 01:04:13,394 --> 01:04:17,481
- That... was 10 million pounds
- of train, Mr. Galvin!
- 976
- 01:04:17,607 --> 01:04:19,859
- And this is the sound
- of me saving your ass!
- 977
- 01:04:20,818 --> 01:04:22,028
- Frank, do you copy?
- 978
- 01:04:22,778 --> 01:04:23,904
- Frank?
- 979
- 01:04:24,363 --> 01:04:25,740
- This is 1206. Over.
- 980
- 01:04:25,865 --> 01:04:27,908
- You were right.
- It barely bumped.
- 981
- 01:04:29,243 --> 01:04:30,911
- Jesus Christ.
- 982
- 01:04:39,462 --> 01:04:41,380
- We're bringing you
- live coverage right now...
- 983
- 01:04:41,505 --> 01:04:44,342
- on what could very well result
- in one of the worst disasters...
- 984
- 01:04:44,425 --> 01:04:47,511
- in the history of
- the state of Pennsylvania.
- 985
- 01:04:47,637 --> 01:04:49,513
- Now, the particulars
- are still being examined,
- 986
- 01:04:49,639 --> 01:04:51,641
- but authorities
- are far more focused...
- 987
- 01:04:51,766 --> 01:04:55,353
- on the potential destruction
- that would result if train 7-7-7...
- 988
- 01:04:55,478 --> 01:04:56,812
- were to derail in Stanton.
- 989
- 01:05:02,735 --> 01:05:04,612
- What'd you mean about
- being married once?
- 990
- 01:05:06,489 --> 01:05:08,574
- Alice, my wife,
- she died of cancer.
- 991
- 01:05:09,158 --> 01:05:10,868
- - Four years ago.
- - I'm sorry.
- 992
- 01:05:10,993 --> 01:05:12,453
- Me, too.
- 993
- 01:05:13,329 --> 01:05:14,538
- Me, too.
- 994
- 01:05:17,208 --> 01:05:20,461
- Every night I'd come home
- tell her about my day...
- 995
- 01:05:21,087 --> 01:05:24,090
- ...where I'd been,
- what I hauled...
- 996
- 01:05:27,218 --> 01:05:28,302
- ...who annoyed me.
- 997
- 01:05:29,679 --> 01:05:31,389
- Guess I would have made
- the evening report, huh?
- 998
- 01:05:31,514 --> 01:05:33,474
- Yes, you would have made it,
- definitely.
- 999
- 01:05:35,518 --> 01:05:37,144
- You should call your wife.
- 1000
- 01:05:38,062 --> 01:05:41,190
- I would, but it's her day off.
- She's probably sleeping.
- 1001
- 01:05:41,315 --> 01:05:43,651
- Don't make excuses.
- Wake her up.
- 1002
- 01:05:44,694 --> 01:05:46,028
- Been calling
- for the past two weeks.
- 1003
- 01:05:46,112 --> 01:05:47,113
- She still hasn't called me back.
- 1004
- 01:05:47,238 --> 01:05:49,323
- She won't.
- You got to call her.
- 1005
- 01:05:49,407 --> 01:05:51,826
- Don't you know how that works?
- You quit too easy.
- 1006
- 01:05:59,709 --> 01:06:01,168
- Darcy!
- 1007
- 01:06:01,794 --> 01:06:03,170
- Darcy!
- 1008
- 01:06:04,463 --> 01:06:07,425
- I have been calling
- and calling.
- 1009
- 01:06:09,343 --> 01:06:10,678
- What is wrong?
- 1010
- 01:06:10,761 --> 01:06:14,588
- As we told you earlier today,
- those emergency evacuations...
- 1011
- 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:18,603
- began early this morning as they try
- to move people out of harm's way.
- 1012
- 01:06:18,686 --> 01:06:21,772
- You get a sense of the perimeter here.
- You see the fire-fighters...
- 1013
- 01:06:21,856 --> 01:06:23,899
- - Hey, it's me.
- - Yeah, we're on our way.
- 1014
- 01:06:24,900 --> 01:06:26,944
- Yeah, I know, I know,
- I'm watching it.
- 1015
- 01:06:44,003 --> 01:06:48,049
- Two railroad employees are presently
- in pursuit of train 7-7-7...
- 1016
- 01:06:48,132 --> 01:06:49,467
- in a single locomotive.
- 1017
- 01:06:49,592 --> 01:06:52,595
- No one seems exactly clear
- on what their plans are
- 1018
- 01:06:52,678 --> 01:06:54,472
- should they catch
- up to that train.
- 1019
- 01:06:54,639 --> 01:06:55,598
- It's Dad.
- 1020
- 01:06:55,681 --> 01:06:58,184
- We have just learned that
- railroad employee Frank Barnes,
- 1021
- 01:06:58,267 --> 01:07:02,104
- a 28-year veteran of the freight
- company responsible for the runaway,
- 1022
- 01:07:02,188 --> 01:07:06,025
- and Will Colson, a conductor,
- are now onboard another locomotive.
- 1023
- 01:07:06,077 --> 01:07:07,568
- - We're on our way.
- - A single locomotive...
- 1024
- 01:07:07,620 --> 01:07:08,611
- trying to catch up...
- 1025
- 01:07:08,694 --> 01:07:09,904
- - to the runaway train.
- - She's gotta get dressed.
- 1026
- 01:07:09,987 --> 01:07:11,405
- - And get this. They were traveling...
- - I can tell.
- 1027
- 01:07:11,489 --> 01:07:12,573
- She'll be ready
- in a minute.
- 1028
- 01:07:12,657 --> 01:07:14,533
- at speeds of up to 70
- miles an hour in reverse.
- 1029
- 01:07:14,825 --> 01:07:17,328
- Triple 7 is now just miles away...
- 1030
- 01:07:17,411 --> 01:07:18,621
- - from the significantly...
- - Come on, Darcy, let's go, get dressed.
- 1031
- 01:07:18,704 --> 01:07:20,706
- ...more populated
- town of Stanton.
- 1032
- 01:07:24,293 --> 01:07:25,711
- Let's go, boys!
- 1033
- 01:07:45,982 --> 01:07:47,066
- Okay,
- you're getting close.
- 1034
- 01:07:47,233 --> 01:07:49,850
- The gap's at a mile and Triple 7
- is 10 miles to Stanton.
- 1035
- 01:07:49,902 --> 01:07:52,655
- Now listen, Frank. I got a guy here
- named Werner from the FRA.
- 1036
- 01:07:52,707 --> 01:07:55,408
- Now, I'm inclined to defer to your
- judgment here, but he...
- 1037
- 01:07:55,449 --> 01:07:58,411
- All right, put him on.
- We could use all the help we can get.
- 1038
- 01:07:59,996 --> 01:08:01,956
- Just press this
- and hold to talk.
- 1039
- 01:08:03,916 --> 01:08:06,961
- Well, it's about slowing Triple 7
- once you've tied on.
- 1040
- 01:08:07,044 --> 01:08:09,005
- I know
- conventional wisdom says...
- 1041
- 01:08:09,088 --> 01:08:11,340
- to just gun it
- the opposite direction.
- 1042
- 01:08:11,424 --> 01:08:13,342
- But you'll have
- a better shot...
- 1043
- 01:08:13,426 --> 01:08:16,262
- alternating full throttle
- with dynamic braking.
- 1044
- 01:08:16,345 --> 01:08:18,681
- Yeah, but we can't afford
- to lose counterthrust.
- 1045
- 01:08:19,098 --> 01:08:21,016
- What you'll lose
- in counterthrust...
- 1046
- 01:08:21,068 --> 01:08:22,935
- you'll compensate for
- in tractive force.
- 1047
- 01:08:23,185 --> 01:08:24,854
- Are you sure about that?
- 1048
- 01:08:27,523 --> 01:08:30,234
- Well, it's more of a hunch
- based on some quick calculations.
- 1049
- 01:08:30,693 --> 01:08:32,445
- It's a hunch.
- 1050
- 01:08:33,529 --> 01:08:35,656
- I'm 70 miles an hour
- and he's giving us a hunch.
- 1051
- 01:08:35,948 --> 01:08:38,951
- Okay. Thank you.
- Put Connie back on, please.
- 1052
- 01:08:39,003 --> 01:08:39,952
- It's me, Frank.
- 1053
- 01:08:40,036 --> 01:08:42,872
- Yeah, Connie, does this guy know
- what he's talking about?
- 1054
- 01:08:44,540 --> 01:08:46,042
- In a perfect world...
- 1055
- 01:08:47,209 --> 01:08:49,211
- Yes. I'd say yes.
- 1056
- 01:08:49,295 --> 01:08:50,796
- In a perfect world, okay.
- 1057
- 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,258
- We have more now on that runaway
- freight train in rural Pennsylvania.
- 1058
- 01:08:54,300 --> 01:08:57,261
- They've devised an ambitious plan
- to bring it to a stop.
- 1059
- 01:08:57,345 --> 01:09:00,139
- A single locomotive
- moves in from behind,
- 1060
- 01:09:00,222 --> 01:09:04,602
- catches up, hooks up and then brakes
- in an effort to slow it down.
- 1061
- 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:08,773
- Passing milepost 7-6, Connie.
- Over.
- 1062
- 01:09:09,023 --> 01:09:10,483
- You're only
- a half mile away.
- 1063
- 01:09:10,566 --> 01:09:11,984
- Half a mile. Out.
- 1064
- 01:09:12,276 --> 01:09:15,071
- Frank, running in reverse,
- how you gonna gauge our gap distance?
- 1065
- 01:09:17,615 --> 01:09:20,076
- I could go out there.
- I could signal you by hand.
- 1066
- 01:09:21,911 --> 01:09:24,038
- - At 70 mile an hour?
- - I'm asking. Would it help?
- 1067
- 01:09:27,917 --> 01:09:30,211
- All right.
- Radio and hand signals.
- 1068
- 01:09:30,294 --> 01:09:32,254
- We'll combinate, okay?
- And be careful.
- 1069
- 01:09:32,338 --> 01:09:33,506
- I will.
- 1070
- 01:09:33,631 --> 01:09:34,840
- And take that vest off, too.
- 1071
- 01:09:34,924 --> 01:09:36,676
- - Why?
- - Just take it off.
- 1072
- 01:09:36,759 --> 01:09:37,708
- I don't wanna look out
- this window...
- 1073
- 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,887
- and see you in that yellow vest.
- It'll freak me out.
- 1074
- 01:09:58,948 --> 01:10:00,032
- Come on, Will.
- 1075
- 01:10:03,244 --> 01:10:04,370
- Pick up. Come on.
- 1076
- 01:10:04,495 --> 01:10:05,746
- This is Will.
- Leave me a message.
- 1077
- 01:10:05,798 --> 01:10:06,831
- Damn!
- 1078
- 01:10:12,586 --> 01:10:13,754
- Ten cars, Frank!
- 1079
- 01:10:14,130 --> 01:10:15,506
- Affirmative. Over.
- 1080
- 01:10:21,262 --> 01:10:22,805
- All right,
- here she comes!
- 1081
- 01:10:27,226 --> 01:10:28,269
- Three cars?
- 1082
- 01:10:29,061 --> 01:10:30,813
- Three cars steady.
- Copy.
- 1083
- 01:10:33,899 --> 01:10:35,985
- All right.
- Steady, steady!
- 1084
- 01:10:44,535 --> 01:10:45,745
- Two cars?
- 1085
- 01:10:47,330 --> 01:10:49,415
- Yeah, two cars.
- Copy.
- 1086
- 01:10:49,498 --> 01:10:50,833
- Steady.
- Over.
- 1087
- 01:10:54,503 --> 01:10:56,464
- Keep it coming!
- Keep it coming!
- 1088
- 01:11:01,052 --> 01:11:02,428
- Keep it coming!
- 1089
- 01:11:03,095 --> 01:11:04,597
- Steady, steady!
- 1090
- 01:11:06,432 --> 01:11:08,935
- Will Colson
- is trying to hook up 1206...
- 1091
- 01:11:09,018 --> 01:11:10,561
- - with Triple 7.
- - Oh, my God.
- 1092
- 01:11:15,232 --> 01:11:17,526
- Something has gone
- terribly wrong.
- 1093
- 01:11:23,574 --> 01:11:25,368
- Will, what was that?
- 1094
- 01:11:26,619 --> 01:11:28,329
- The grain car
- blew a seal!
- 1095
- 01:11:29,872 --> 01:11:31,457
- Are we tied off?
- 1096
- 01:11:33,209 --> 01:11:34,543
- Will, what's going on?
- 1097
- 01:11:36,003 --> 01:11:39,882
- Right now we are looking
- at live pictures of this rescue operation.
- 1098
- 01:11:40,341 --> 01:11:41,717
- Are we tied off?
- 1099
- 01:11:42,843 --> 01:11:45,471
- No Frank, it didn't work.
- Our knuckle closed!
- 1100
- 01:11:45,554 --> 01:11:48,266
- Will, use hand signals!
- Hand signals!
- 1101
- 01:11:57,775 --> 01:11:59,068
- We tied on?
- 1102
- 01:11:59,235 --> 01:12:00,528
- We're good! We're good!
- 1103
- 01:12:00,611 --> 01:12:01,821
- What?
- 1104
- 01:12:08,911 --> 01:12:10,454
- Oh, shit.
- 1105
- 01:12:11,247 --> 01:12:12,957
- Frank,
- the pin didn't fall!
- 1106
- 01:12:13,291 --> 01:12:14,959
- Say again.
- The what?
- 1107
- 01:12:15,501 --> 01:12:17,378
- Will, are we tied on?
- 1108
- 01:12:17,461 --> 01:12:19,714
- It's not gonna work.
- The pin didn't fall.
- 1109
- 01:12:19,797 --> 01:12:20,840
- What?
- 1110
- 01:12:20,923 --> 01:12:23,801
- The pin didn't fall!
- It's not locking!
- 1111
- 01:12:24,218 --> 01:12:26,012
- All right. Well, look.
- 1112
- 01:12:26,304 --> 01:12:29,223
- Try and get down there,
- see what you can do. Be careful!
- 1113
- 01:12:29,765 --> 01:12:31,142
- Be careful.
- 1114
- 01:12:40,443 --> 01:12:41,527
- Will!
- 1115
- 01:12:41,611 --> 01:12:44,697
- It's not slowing down.
- It's gaining speed right now.
- 1116
- 01:12:44,780 --> 01:12:46,782
- He's reaching down,
- trying to couple...
- 1117
- 01:12:56,250 --> 01:12:57,668
- Will, can you read me?
- 1118
- 01:13:12,391 --> 01:13:13,476
- He's gone!
- 1119
- 01:13:17,438 --> 01:13:20,483
- Will Colson is down.
- We do not see him.
- 1120
- 01:13:22,318 --> 01:13:24,028
- Chopper 43,
- can you zoom in?
- 1121
- 01:13:24,987 --> 01:13:28,157
- - We do not see the conductor Colson.
- - Come on, baby.
- 1122
- 01:13:32,912 --> 01:13:35,665
- Will, can you read me?
- Will!
- 1123
- 01:13:47,969 --> 01:13:51,222
- Chopper 43, zoom in.
- There he is! Will Colson!
- 1124
- 01:13:55,226 --> 01:13:57,561
- As he struggles
- to pull himself up,
- 1125
- 01:13:57,645 --> 01:13:59,981
- looks like Will Colson
- is in trouble.
- 1126
- 01:14:08,239 --> 01:14:09,438
- The train is coupled.
- 1127
- 01:14:09,490 --> 01:14:13,077
- I'm now being told
- that the connection has been made.
- 1128
- 01:14:13,202 --> 01:14:16,705
- It looks as though,
- this train is now attached.
- 1129
- 01:14:16,757 --> 01:14:20,209
- 1206 has been successfully
- attached to Triple 7.
- 1130
- 01:14:20,293 --> 01:14:22,962
- But it looks like
- Will Colson is injured.
- 1131
- 01:14:23,796 --> 01:14:27,174
- Will? You all right?
- 1132
- 01:14:28,259 --> 01:14:29,468
- I'm great.
- 1133
- 01:14:30,678 --> 01:14:32,888
- Hey, hey, don't touch that!
- Don't touch that boot!
- 1134
- 01:14:33,639 --> 01:14:35,099
- Here, just wrap it up
- with this.
- 1135
- 01:14:35,224 --> 01:14:37,435
- Wrap it real tight.
- All around.
- 1136
- 01:14:38,019 --> 01:14:39,218
- You okay?
- 1137
- 01:14:39,270 --> 01:14:40,813
- I'm all right.
- I'm all right.
- 1138
- 01:14:43,274 --> 01:14:46,319
- Barnes and Colson
- have caught up to the runaway train.
- 1139
- 01:14:46,902 --> 01:14:47,935
- Darcy, come on.
- 1140
- 01:14:47,987 --> 01:14:51,782
- But the train continues to speed
- in excess of 75 miles an hour,
- 1141
- 01:14:51,866 --> 01:14:53,451
- heading to Stanton.
- 1142
- 01:14:56,370 --> 01:14:57,747
- Connie, how far we got?
- 1143
- 01:14:57,830 --> 01:15:00,374
- How far to Stanton?
- Over.
- 1144
- 01:15:01,584 --> 01:15:03,794
- 4 miles.
- You guys are doing great.
- 1145
- 01:15:03,961 --> 01:15:05,129
- You're cutting it close, though.
- 1146
- 01:15:05,181 --> 01:15:06,505
- How's Will?
- 1147
- 01:15:07,340 --> 01:15:10,468
- He's, uh...
- He's different. Over.
- 1148
- 01:15:13,638 --> 01:15:15,514
- Ready for a little
- tug-of-war?
- 1149
- 01:15:16,349 --> 01:15:17,516
- Let's do it.
- 1150
- 01:15:26,233 --> 01:15:29,236
- Match our speed with theirs.
- 1151
- 01:15:36,202 --> 01:15:38,663
- - Frank, we're gonna snap right off.
- - No, we're not, we're not.
- 1152
- 01:15:38,746 --> 01:15:41,749
- We're just stretching, that's all.
- We're just stretching.
- 1153
- 01:15:47,129 --> 01:15:48,214
- Here in Stanton,
- 1154
- 01:15:48,339 --> 01:15:51,634
- the evacuation procedures
- continue for the entire town.
- 1155
- 01:15:51,717 --> 01:15:56,222
- This is the town where that mainline
- train track turns into an elevated curve.
- 1156
- 01:15:56,347 --> 01:15:58,266
- They say there is
- virtually no chance,
- 1157
- 01:15:58,391 --> 01:16:00,268
- this speeding,
- out-of-control train...
- 1158
- 01:16:00,351 --> 01:16:01,936
- will make it
- through that curve.
- 1159
- 01:16:08,567 --> 01:16:10,569
- We should be slowing down.
- 1160
- 01:16:10,695 --> 01:16:12,321
- Which we're not.
- 1161
- 01:16:12,446 --> 01:16:14,198
- Shoot.
- 1162
- 01:16:15,324 --> 01:16:18,786
- Go to the dynamic.
- Alternate full throttle.
- 1163
- 01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:32,675
- Christ! Those cab brakes
- are getting a workout.
- 1164
- 01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:35,386
- Because of the
- highly toxic nature of the cargo.
- 1165
- 01:16:35,469 --> 01:16:36,470
- Come on, Frank.
- 1166
- 01:16:36,846 --> 01:16:38,431
- Come on, baby.
- 1167
- 01:16:44,478 --> 01:16:45,688
- What's our speed?
- 1168
- 01:16:45,855 --> 01:16:47,148
- We're under 50.
- 1169
- 01:16:47,231 --> 01:16:49,066
- Connie, how far away?
- 1170
- 01:16:49,150 --> 01:16:52,028
- 3 miles. FRA's got men on the ground
- ready to hop onboard...
- 1171
- 01:16:52,111 --> 01:16:53,446
- as soon as you
- guys get it under 20.
- 1172
- 01:16:53,529 --> 01:16:55,197
- All right. Tell them,
- be ready to hop. Over.
- 1173
- 01:17:03,914 --> 01:17:05,082
- Shoot!
- 1174
- 01:17:13,424 --> 01:17:15,176
- - What is it?
- - We're gaining speed.
- 1175
- 01:17:15,259 --> 01:17:18,054
- Consist is too heavy.
- We're being dragged.
- 1176
- 01:17:27,355 --> 01:17:28,606
- Connie!
- 1177
- 01:17:28,731 --> 01:17:29,982
- I'm here, Frank.
- 1178
- 01:17:30,066 --> 01:17:31,817
- We're gonna be
- coming in too hot.
- 1179
- 01:17:33,194 --> 01:17:34,320
- Let them know.
- 1180
- 01:17:34,403 --> 01:17:35,988
- The limit on
- that curve is 15.
- 1181
- 01:17:36,072 --> 01:17:40,117
- I don't know if you can take it
- much faster, maybe 20, 25, max?
- 1182
- 01:17:40,201 --> 01:17:43,120
- We may not have a choice.
- Just tell them it's gonna be real hot.
- 1183
- 01:17:49,710 --> 01:17:51,128
- What about the braking
- on the freight cars?
- 1184
- 01:17:55,883 --> 01:17:57,134
- Good, good.
- 1185
- 01:17:57,218 --> 01:17:58,209
- All right, I'm on it.
- 1186
- 01:17:58,261 --> 01:18:00,554
- No, just sit down, I've got it.
- Sit tight. Sit tight.
- 1187
- 01:18:00,606 --> 01:18:02,890
- I'll go out. Sit down.
- No, in fact, come here.
- 1188
- 01:18:02,974 --> 01:18:05,142
- You sit here.
- I'll go out.
- 1189
- 01:18:05,226 --> 01:18:06,644
- Just keep it at four.
- 1190
- 01:18:07,853 --> 01:18:09,230
- - You all right? Take it easy.
- - Yeah.
- 1191
- 01:18:09,355 --> 01:18:10,898
- Hold that dynamic at a four. Four.
- 1192
- 01:18:10,982 --> 01:18:12,316
- Integrate it with the throttle
- if you have to.
- 1193
- 01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,318
- Hold it at a four,
- integrate the throttle.
- 1194
- 01:18:14,402 --> 01:18:16,487
- Burn the block out,
- it doesn't matter.
- 1195
- 01:18:17,238 --> 01:18:18,906
- Hey, don't get
- sentimental on me.
- 1196
- 01:18:19,407 --> 01:18:21,742
- Makes me think I'm gonna die.
- Just hold that four.
- 1197
- 01:18:42,096 --> 01:18:44,015
- Come on, Frank.
- 1198
- 01:18:44,098 --> 01:18:46,142
- AWVR officials
- have no comment.
- 1199
- 01:18:46,767 --> 01:18:50,354
- Barnes is attempting to manually
- brake the last car of Triple 7.
- 1200
- 01:19:00,823 --> 01:19:03,868
- He's actually running on top
- of the grain cars and jumping...
- 1201
- 01:19:03,951 --> 01:19:05,786
- Way to go, Frank.
- Let's go, Frank.
- 1202
- 01:19:14,295 --> 01:19:16,631
- Looks like Tripple 7
- is slowing down.
- 1203
- 01:19:19,467 --> 01:19:21,552
- We understand
- this is some sort of...
- 1204
- 01:19:21,636 --> 01:19:23,721
- an attempt to try
- and stop the train.
- 1205
- 01:19:23,804 --> 01:19:25,723
- Yes! Come on, come on!
- You can do it!
- 1206
- 01:19:29,769 --> 01:19:31,187
- Will, how are fast you going?
- 1207
- 01:19:34,899 --> 01:19:36,317
- 34.
- 1208
- 01:19:38,778 --> 01:19:40,279
- All right.
- we're dropping, 33.
- 1209
- 01:19:40,363 --> 01:19:43,324
- The railroad spokesman
- just confirmed he is...
- 1210
- 01:19:43,407 --> 01:19:45,076
- - Think it'll work?
- - attempting to slow Triple 7...
- 1211
- 01:19:45,159 --> 01:19:47,411
- by manually
- braking each car.
- 1212
- 01:19:47,495 --> 01:19:48,913
- Theoretically.
- 1213
- 01:19:48,996 --> 01:19:51,874
- Provided that locomotive's
- independent brake holds out.
- 1214
- 01:19:59,382 --> 01:20:02,260
- We continue to bring you live coverage
- of this breaking news event...
- 1215
- 01:20:02,343 --> 01:20:03,427
- from the town of Stanton.
- 1216
- 01:20:03,511 --> 01:20:06,430
- Emergency management officials
- have created this perimeter.
- 1217
- 01:20:11,227 --> 01:20:13,271
- This is the police.
- Get off the roof.
- 1218
- 01:20:13,354 --> 01:20:15,690
- You are being asked to evacuate
- for your own safety.
- 1219
- 01:20:51,183 --> 01:20:52,268
- Shit!
- 1220
- 01:20:54,895 --> 01:20:55,938
- Frank!
- 1221
- 01:20:56,314 --> 01:20:58,107
- Yeah, I hear you.
- I hear you!
- 1222
- 01:20:58,232 --> 01:20:59,734
- We just lost our brakes!
- 1223
- 01:21:02,820 --> 01:21:04,363
- Looks like
- the brakes have blown.
- 1224
- 01:21:04,488 --> 01:21:05,615
- Shit!
- 1225
- 01:21:14,790 --> 01:21:17,960
- Frank! Frank!
- Frank, you all right?
- 1226
- 01:21:18,586 --> 01:21:20,421
- I'm here, Will.
- What happened?
- 1227
- 01:21:20,546 --> 01:21:22,381
- We're picking up
- speed again.
- 1228
- 01:21:24,967 --> 01:21:28,888
- Can you still slow it down?
- We're almost at the curve.
- 1229
- 01:21:28,971 --> 01:21:31,641
- Frank, our engine
- block's overheated.
- 1230
- 01:21:33,267 --> 01:21:34,685
- I don't think those
- hand brakes...
- 1231
- 01:21:34,769 --> 01:21:36,312
- gonna have the muscle
- to stop this thing.
- 1232
- 01:21:36,395 --> 01:21:37,396
- We're creeping up fast.
- 1233
- 01:21:37,521 --> 01:21:40,024
- All right, well, just hang on
- to the independent.
- 1234
- 01:21:40,816 --> 01:21:42,485
- I'll tell you when.
- 1235
- 01:22:02,630 --> 01:22:07,093
- Elevated and strictly Class 2,
- speed restricted to 15 miles per hour.
- 1236
- 01:22:07,176 --> 01:22:09,053
- Impact with at least
- three of these buildings...
- 1237
- 01:22:09,136 --> 01:22:10,846
- directly below
- will be unavoidable,
- 1238
- 01:22:10,930 --> 01:22:14,433
- as will contact with all the
- fuel storage tanks situated here.
- 1239
- 01:22:15,142 --> 01:22:17,353
- Will? Will?
- 1240
- 01:22:18,104 --> 01:22:19,355
- We're all right.
- We're all right...
- 1241
- 01:22:19,438 --> 01:22:21,023
- but we're
- picking up speed again.
- 1242
- 01:22:34,370 --> 01:22:35,454
- Will!
- 1243
- 01:22:36,706 --> 01:22:39,792
- We're coming into the curve!
- Get ready!
- 1244
- 01:22:54,098 --> 01:22:57,059
- Will!
- Hit that independent!
- 1245
- 01:22:57,643 --> 01:23:00,021
- Hit that independent
- as hard as you can!
- 1246
- 01:23:06,986 --> 01:23:08,654
- Frank,
- we're gonna rip right off.
- 1247
- 01:23:09,071 --> 01:23:10,406
- Got no choice.
- 1248
- 01:23:20,541 --> 01:23:22,627
- Will!
- Hang on!
- 1249
- 01:23:31,093 --> 01:23:33,512
- Hit it!
- Hit it again!
- 1250
- 01:23:34,847 --> 01:23:35,848
- Now!
- 1251
- 01:24:02,333 --> 01:24:03,449
- Frank, you all right?
- 1252
- 01:24:03,501 --> 01:24:06,420
- We made it! We made it!
- We're through the curve.
- 1253
- 01:24:08,714 --> 01:24:11,884
- Triple 7 made it.
- It made it through the Stanton curve.
- 1254
- 01:24:12,176 --> 01:24:14,136
- Triple 7 is through
- the Stanton curve,
- 1255
- 01:24:14,220 --> 01:24:15,972
- but by no means
- out of trouble.
- 1256
- 01:24:16,389 --> 01:24:20,226
- Triple 7 is gaining speed.
- It is out of control and has to derail.
- 1257
- 01:24:20,601 --> 01:24:22,478
- Frank Barnes
- and Will Colson...
- 1258
- 01:24:22,770 --> 01:24:24,605
- will be the victims of
- the biggest rail disaster...
- 1259
- 01:24:24,689 --> 01:24:26,107
- in the history
- of the northeast.
- 1260
- 01:24:28,317 --> 01:24:31,487
- It looks like Frank Barnes
- is making an all-out effort.
- 1261
- 01:24:32,071 --> 01:24:33,114
- Good job.
- 1262
- 01:24:33,197 --> 01:24:36,951
- This is a remarkable effort
- now to get to the front of Triple 7.
- 1263
- 01:24:42,748 --> 01:24:43,916
- Frank!
- 1264
- 01:24:45,167 --> 01:24:48,254
- We're at... we're at 60
- and we're gonna hit 80 in no time!
- 1265
- 01:24:52,341 --> 01:24:53,634
- He's not gonna make it.
- 1266
- 01:24:54,885 --> 01:24:57,096
- Looks like the gap
- between cars has stopped him.
- 1267
- 01:24:57,148 --> 01:24:58,306
- You can do it!
- 1268
- 01:24:58,389 --> 01:25:02,310
- But the train continues to speed
- in excess of 75 miles an hour.
- 1269
- 01:25:02,685 --> 01:25:05,354
- Frank! Frank!
- 1270
- 01:25:05,896 --> 01:25:08,107
- Will, we got a problem here.
- 1271
- 01:25:10,484 --> 01:25:12,153
- I don't think I can make it.
- 1272
- 01:25:14,572 --> 01:25:15,615
- Oh, God.
- 1273
- 01:25:24,665 --> 01:25:26,584
- There's Ned!
- 1274
- 01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:32,381
- Unbelievable.
- Unbelievable.
- 1275
- 01:25:37,178 --> 01:25:39,013
- - Hello.
- - Ned, it's Connie.
- 1276
- 01:25:39,138 --> 01:25:41,349
- I'm kinda busy right now, Connie.
- I'll call you back.
- 1277
- 01:26:00,993 --> 01:26:02,119
- Hey!
- 1278
- 01:26:07,041 --> 01:26:08,376
- Come on!
- 1279
- 01:26:08,709 --> 01:26:09,961
- Jump!
- 1280
- 01:26:12,964 --> 01:26:15,007
- Hop in the back
- of the truck!
- 1281
- 01:26:16,634 --> 01:26:19,053
- Hop in the back
- of the truck!
- 1282
- 01:26:19,136 --> 01:26:22,265
- Connie? Connie?
- Is that truck for us?
- 1283
- 01:26:22,890 --> 01:26:25,226
- Yes, it is, Will.
- You can do this.
- 1284
- 01:26:25,309 --> 01:26:27,270
- Will, you can do this!
- 1285
- 01:26:33,150 --> 01:26:34,360
- Come on!
- 1286
- 01:26:47,540 --> 01:26:49,458
- Looks like
- he's trying to synchronize...
- 1287
- 01:26:49,542 --> 01:26:52,336
- the speed of the pickup
- with the train.
- 1288
- 01:26:53,045 --> 01:26:56,424
- Do it, you pussy!
- Jump in the back!
- 1289
- 01:27:01,345 --> 01:27:03,097
- Yes! Yes!
- 1290
- 01:27:03,180 --> 01:27:04,724
- Yeah!
- 1291
- 01:27:07,101 --> 01:27:08,185
- Yeah!
- 1292
- 01:27:15,192 --> 01:27:16,611
- And look at
- what's happening now.
- 1293
- 01:27:16,694 --> 01:27:18,946
- The red pickup racing
- to the front of Triple 7.
- 1294
- 01:27:18,998 --> 01:27:20,031
- Come on, Will.
- 1295
- 01:27:29,874 --> 01:27:31,083
- Frank!
- 1296
- 01:27:32,585 --> 01:27:35,212
- Go! Just go!
- Go, go, go, go!
- 1297
- 01:27:36,756 --> 01:27:38,341
- Go, go, go!
- 1298
- 01:27:38,466 --> 01:27:40,051
- Go, go!
- 1299
- 01:27:51,729 --> 01:27:54,398
- Ned Oldham
- is running out of parallel road.
- 1300
- 01:27:54,649 --> 01:27:55,983
- Come on, Will.
- 1301
- 01:27:56,067 --> 01:27:57,443
- Drive, Ned!
- 1302
- 01:27:57,526 --> 01:27:59,570
- He will attempt
- to board this train.
- 1303
- 01:28:19,507 --> 01:28:21,425
- - Come on!
- - Shit!
- 1304
- 01:28:21,509 --> 01:28:23,135
- Goddamn it!
- I overshot it!
- 1305
- 01:28:26,472 --> 01:28:27,556
- Come on.
- 1306
- 01:28:28,057 --> 01:28:30,768
- There it is, kid!
- Do it!
- 1307
- 01:28:31,727 --> 01:28:35,273
- Come on, jump!
- Do it! Jump!
- 1308
- 01:28:54,083 --> 01:28:55,251
- Yes!
- 1309
- 01:28:58,129 --> 01:28:59,505
- Go, Dad!
- 1310
- 01:29:05,761 --> 01:29:07,555
- Yeah! Yeah!
- 1311
- 01:29:07,638 --> 01:29:10,850
- Yeah! Yes! Yes! Yes!
- 1312
- 01:29:10,933 --> 01:29:12,310
- Oh, my God!
- 1313
- 01:29:12,893 --> 01:29:15,688
- Go, go! Go, Will!
- 1314
- 01:29:15,771 --> 01:29:19,233
- Will Colson
- successfully making it into the cab,
- 1315
- 01:29:19,317 --> 01:29:21,444
- now in control of Triple 7.
- 1316
- 01:29:43,674 --> 01:29:46,427
- Chopper 43 over
- this remarkable aftermath.
- 1317
- 01:29:46,552 --> 01:29:49,347
- We're talking about
- the heroic work of two men,
- 1318
- 01:29:49,722 --> 01:29:51,599
- Frank Barnes and Will Colson.
- 1319
- 01:29:51,682 --> 01:29:55,061
- Southern Pennsylvania
- will always be indebted to them.
- 1320
- 01:30:38,896 --> 01:30:43,224
- Judas Priest, we did it!
- We did it!
- 1321
- 01:30:43,276 --> 01:30:46,821
- I knew once we got you up there, we'd do it.
- Ned Oldham.
- 1322
- 01:30:46,904 --> 01:30:49,782
- It's all about precision.
- Good job, kid.
- 1323
- 01:30:50,157 --> 01:30:52,243
- - Your foot's hurt. He cut his foot!
- - I think it's broken.
- 1324
- 01:30:52,368 --> 01:30:54,787
- He cut his foot!
- Let's get some medics!
- 1325
- 01:31:14,473 --> 01:31:16,309
- Get over here, kiddo.
- 1326
- 01:31:23,899 --> 01:31:25,318
- - Ned!
- - You!
- 1327
- 01:31:25,401 --> 01:31:27,069
- Ned, were you worried?
- 1328
- 01:31:27,153 --> 01:31:29,614
- Was I worried?
- Nah, not really.
- 1329
- 01:31:30,072 --> 01:31:32,950
- It's all about precision. I wouldn't
- have undertaken such a task...
- 1330
- 01:31:33,034 --> 01:31:34,327
- Just got off the line
- with corporate, you know.
- 1331
- 01:31:34,493 --> 01:31:35,484
- - Oh, yeah?
- - Yeah...
- 1332
- 01:31:35,536 --> 01:31:37,079
- "Debt of gratitude".
- Blah, blah, blah.
- 1333
- 01:31:37,163 --> 01:31:39,790
- Same here.
- Felt pretty good, actually.
- 1334
- 01:31:40,166 --> 01:31:41,667
- Yeah, it did, actually.
- 1335
- 01:31:41,751 --> 01:31:44,337
- Bringing it
- to a successful conclusion.
- 1336
- 01:31:45,588 --> 01:31:48,466
- What was your first reaction when
- you realized what was happening?
- 1337
- 01:31:48,549 --> 01:31:50,760
- I felt I was
- in my comfort zone.
- 1338
- 01:31:51,135 --> 01:31:52,303
- What'd they say
- about your job?
- 1339
- 01:31:52,386 --> 01:31:54,555
- They said it's mine
- if I wanna keep it.
- 1340
- 01:31:57,475 --> 01:31:58,976
- They'd be stupid
- not to give it to you.
- 1341
- 01:31:59,060 --> 01:32:01,187
- Yeah,
- that's what I told them.
- 1342
- 01:32:03,981 --> 01:32:06,317
- Said they better think about
- giving me a better one, too.
- 1343
- 01:32:06,984 --> 01:32:08,819
- - How about me?
- - How about you?
- 1344
- 01:32:08,903 --> 01:32:10,863
- As you can see,
- the result was a positive.
- 1345
- 01:32:11,072 --> 01:32:12,114
- Ned...
- 1346
- 01:32:16,285 --> 01:32:19,956
- Do we have any better of an idea
- as to how this happened?
- 1347
- 01:32:20,039 --> 01:32:21,749
- Well,
- the thing that happened...
- 1348
- 01:32:21,832 --> 01:32:24,919
- Thank you very much, Ned.
- Everybody, this is Ned Oldham.
- 1349
- 01:32:25,002 --> 01:32:26,962
- To answer that
- last question...
- 1350
- 01:32:27,014 --> 01:32:28,923
- Sorry? I wonder
- if you can help me.
- 1351
- 01:32:30,132 --> 01:32:31,467
- - Connie?
- - I can't decide...
- 1352
- 01:32:31,592 --> 01:32:33,594
- which one of you
- I'm gonna kiss first.
- 1353
- 01:32:33,678 --> 01:32:34,845
- Me.
- 1354
- 01:32:36,722 --> 01:32:38,224
- Problem solved.
- 1355
- 01:32:38,975 --> 01:32:41,394
- - Go get him, Connie.
- - All right, bring it on.
- 1356
- 01:32:41,435 --> 01:32:44,897
- To Frank Barnes and Will Colson,
- 1357
- 01:32:47,984 --> 01:32:50,403
- the engineer and the
- conductor whose actions...
- 1358
- 01:32:50,486 --> 01:32:51,570
- Your daughters?
- 1359
- 01:32:57,410 --> 01:32:59,203
- Chopper 43,
- over and out.
