The Devil in Disguise (2/5)

Traintober 2022 Day 28 - Last Stop

Summary - Time for one last ride...

-

⅖

The 47 screeched with fury and fear as her own motor was turned against her. “What are you doing?!”

“I’m taking you for a ride.” The 307 said as he kept pushing. Inside both locomotives, alarm horns were sounding as traction motors were pushed past their safe operating limits. “You always liked that, didn’t you? Having someone else do all the work for you?”

They rattled across a set of points linking the up and down lines, and the 47 shrieked as she rocked back and forth like a drunk. “You’re going to get me killed! Hell, you'll get the both of us killed!”

“I don’t know if you noticed yet, but that’s the point.” He said firmly, his pantograph sparking wildly as they passed seventy miles an hour. 

“To get us both killed?!” She said, shocked. “Over something that happened thirty years ago?!”

He said nothing more, silencing the warning horns that blared when they raced past his top speed of seventy-five. 

Stevenage station suddenly loomed large in the distance, and he could feel the 47 try to put the brakes on as they hurtled towards the platforms. In response, he reached up through the multiple unit connectors and found the circuit breaker for the diesel’s brake compressor. 

Click-pop!

With a horrifying sound, the 47 suddenly found her air brake compressor powering down. Unlike the multiple unit, who had listened very carefully when the men had taken his systems to bits in anticipation for the multiple unit trials, she had no idea what a circuit breaker was, let alone how to turn it back on. She tried frantically to apply emergency braking with the now-limited amount of air she did have, but the 307, having disabled his own air brakes, reached through his own systems and opened up an angle cock located between one of his articulated sections.

With a whoosh, the air came shooting out of the opened valve, and the 47 screamed in terror as all of her brake shoes went limp and unresponsive. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!”

“I finished what you started.” He gave her a savage bump as he poured more power into his traction motors. They began to get warm and uncomfortable, but he didn’t care. 

Stevenage station came and went in a flash, and a panicked stationmaster made the first report of the runaway as it thundered past him. “They’re going onto the Hertford Loop!” He yelled, as the train rocked through a low-speed crossover at nearly ninety miles an hour, bound for the diverging track. 

The rocking and rolling was causing chaos inside the 307’s empty compartments, and testing equipment and personal belongings began to fly all over. In the forward-most compartment, the computer had already gone onto the floor, its screen shattering into shards, but the printer was more resistant. It was very heavy, and had rubber “feet”, so it couldn’t slide - a truly enormous force was required to make it move, and when the train hit the crossover, it got it. From the printer’s perspective, the table dropped out from under it momentarily, as the car rocked, dipped, and rolled. Inertia working the way it does, the printer hung in the air for a moment, at which point the table rose up under it and fired it across the carriage like a cannonball. It slammed into the opposite wall with a tremendous smash, before landing mostly on top of a knapsack sitting in the seat below. 

The force of the printer landing on it made the bag spring open, and its contents, including a portable radio, fell to the floor. The radio was very light, and quickly slid all the way to the back of the compartment as the train kept accelerating. It hit the wall with a bang, jarring its cheap controls so much that it turned on. 

- music in the air

I should have been away

But I knew I had to stay

Last train to London

“Looks like they’re playing my song…” The 307 muttered to himself as they whipped under the bridge that carried the ECML over the Hertford Loop. 

Farmland raced by on either side of them. They were past a hundred miles an hour now, and it was readily obvious that neither one of them were going to make it much further. 

Just heading out

Last train to London

Just leaving town

But I really want tonight to last forever

His traction motors actually hurt by this point, and the gauges in his cab were pegged at their stops. The alarms kept ringing, even as he kept ignoring them. 

The 47 wasn’t in much better shape. She was trailing smoke from one of her traction motors, and there was a clatter from her motor that was only getting louder. 

I really wanna be with you

Let the music play on down the line tonight

Underneath a starry sky

Time was still but hours must really have rushed by

A station appeared in the distance, which one it was he didn’t know. They were on it in an instant, screaming past the platforms like a comet. Their passage caused anything not nailed down to go flying, and a few waiting passengers were thrown off their feet. 

I didn't realize

But love was in your eyes

The 47 had given up on reasoning with the insane lunatic 307 she was yoked to, and was now trying anything she could to get the train to stop. Her brakes were useless, and she couldn’t get her aching motor to do what she wanted. She tried making it stop - one of her fitters had said she had a fuel pump?  - but she didn’t know what to do. 

She tried calling for help from passing trains, but the stupid little multiple units looked at her like she was crazy when she raced past them. 

I really should have gone

But love went on and on

Oh this was hopeless. She could really die! She had to do something! 

Quickly, she wracked her mind for anything she could use. “I’ll tell you what happened to her!” She cried, desperately. 

“Beg pardon?” That didn’t sound like idiotic blind devotion. Didn’t he love that thing?

“Your girl! I know what happened to her!” 

“She died.” He snapped, sending a painful burst of electricity down the multiple unit cabling, ending that particular line of bargaining. 

Last train to London

Just heading out

Last train to London

“Don’t try and stop this.” He said, after a moment’s silence. “There’s no point. Either we get put in a siding, or we go all the way to London and have the smashup to end all smashups. Either way, I win.”

Just leaving town

But I really want tonight to last forever

I really wanna be with you

Let the music play on down the line tonight

“But I want to stop! Please!” She wailed. 

“I wanted to grow old with her.” He said icily. “Now stop your crying and keep your chin up. I lived my life, and I’ve got plenty of regrets, but you know what? I’m going to the end with my pantographs held high. Can you say the same?”

But I really want tonight to last forever

I really wanna be with you

Let the music play on down the line tonight

She didn’t answer, and a raucous drum and bass line picked up as the song came to its end. 

-

A mile or so ahead, the end was waiting for them. A group of workmen had been performing work to the embankment next to the line with a dump truck and a sizable Volvo wheel loader. They’d been given the call to clear the line as soon as the runaway had blown through Stevenage, but as it became clear that the train wasn’t able to stop on its own, “Control” had called back with drastic instructions. 

“Park that thing on the line and leg it!” 

“Seriously?”

“Yes! Do it now! You’ve only got a few minutes!”

The foreman had very quickly fired up the loader, and hurriedly parked it astride both lines, before fleeing the area. He and his men ran for their lives, clambering into the dump truck and driving away as fast as it could go.

The Volvo loader had been left with the motor running, and so the giant, non-sentient machine sat on the rails like a growling beast, a yellow sentinel, intent on protecting London from imminent peril. 

And peril was just around the corner. 

-

For a moment, the rails sang, the metal warping minutely as a train traveled over it. With slow trains, it could give almost a half-minute’s warning that a train was coming. 

With a fast train, it was only a few seconds. 

The 47 rounded the corner at ninety-six miles an hour. By the time she registered that there was a giant object in front of her, she was only a few hundred feet away. 

She opened her mouth to scream.

-

In the dump truck, some quarter of a mile away, the collision rattled the windows, before a fireball bloomed, rising into the sky.

August 16th, Fairbanks

Once again, rain is delayed. So we played pickelball with the locals this morning. Really nice place and very nice people. They take over a couple of outdoor hockey rinks for the summer. Portable nets but heavy duty and avaliable 24/7. Lots of fun. Even helped a local retired vet (but really young for a retired vet) with her first day of pickelball play.

Also, dealt with an issue that almost became a problem. Just before we arrived last week an alarm went off saying I had water in my fuel. I am very careful where I buy my fuel so I was guessing a fault in the sensor. The error cleared while checking in. I called freightliner and they agreed it was the sensor but that I should check the water separator to be safe. Diesel doesn't deal with air in the fuel lines well, so they wanted me to run the engine while opening the drain valve. Of course, no water, just Diesel. Today, I started the engine again to make sure it was fine. Crank but no start. Crap! Air bubble must be present. Called freightliner and they gave me a procedure of using compressed air in the fuel tank to push fuel through. Called a few diesel repair places just in case and they are all booked weeks out. Rented a compressor from home depot and gave it a shot. It worked!! Engine started, kept it running for half hour. Saturday morning engine started right up.
