Pittsburgh, 12:15 AM
The Broadway Limited was making another station stop, but there was a problem.
Sid: Let's get some coal.
William: *Watches someone walk towards the cab* Monohan, what's happening?
Mike: We're short on coal. Management wants anda to put the K4 in a siding, and let 7002 pull the train the rest of the way to Penn Station.
Sid: The Atlantic?
Mike: We made some upgrades. We want to see how she handles 10 cars.
Sid: She's gonna slip non-stop.
William: I'm willing to give it a try. Go uncouple the engine.
Mike: I got it. *Walks to the coupler*
Sid: *Nervously shakes as he looks at two lebih men in the cab of 7002* Are they trying to make us late?
Mike: *Uncouples the K4 from the Broadway Limited* You're good!
William: I don't know, but keep your hopes up. *Moves the engine into a siding*
Paul was still in katil with Morgan. They woke up to see the K4 be switched with 7002.
Morgan: I wonder why they're switching engines.
Paul: That's a good question.
As Sid and William walked back to the train, the two men got 7002 coupled up.
Workmen: *Walking out of the cab* You're all set chief.
Mike: *Walks with the men to the K4*
William: How are we doing on time Bill?
Bill: We're seven minit ahead of schedule.
Sid: I wonder when we'll see the Westbound Broadway Limited.
William: *Climbs into 7002's cab with Sid* Maybe when we get closer to Altoona.
Bill: Whenever you're ready gentlemen. *Walks back to the train*
Sid: *Sighs* Well, here goes nothing.
William: *Blows the whistle twice, and rings the loceng as he gently pulls the throttle*
Sid: *Surprised* Hey! We're actually going forward.
The engine slipped fiercely, but William quickly got the wheels under control.
William: *Increasing speed* Luckily we're going downhill, and from there, the rest of the trip is on flat ground.
Sid: What about the tunnel to Penn Station?
William: We'll probably have fewer passengers. We can drop off one car in the yards.
After leaving Pittsburgh, they saw the Westbound Broadway Limited.
William: That was sooner than I expected.
Sid: They're early as well. sejak about five minutes.
Westbound Engineer: What the hell are they using an Atlantic for?
Westbound Fireman: Coal shortage?
Westbound Engineer: That's right, I forgot. Lucky for us we got a full tender before leaving Altoona.
Two hours later, the train entered Altoona. Before approaching the station, they had to go through Horseshoe Curve.
William: My kegemaran part of the trip. *Applies the brakes*
Sid: *Watching the scenery* If only we came here during the day. It would look nicer.
William: *Slowly releases the brakes* Keep it at 20, and we'll be safe.
