Relentless Wheels Race Through Western Division Yard

Engineer Callahan drives the 1010 locomotive at high speed through a tense chase from Morning Dew to Lossing with signals failing and a wasting boiler. The superintendent warns of 20 years for passing danger signals as Callahan tightens throttle and Halkett struggles with the injector. The scene blends danger, discipline, and stubborn defiance aboard the train.
