Overview

It was almost dark and Guillermo, the conductor, was nervous. He knew that other trains had been stopped by bandits in the same area, and the passengers and valuable cargo had been robbed. He also knew that in one of those robberies the conductor had been thrown off the train. Nobody was safe! Guillermo lived with his wife and José, their young son, in a small town that was one of the train stops on this route. On other trips, his family would wait for the train and wave at Guillermo, but today something felt different. The train was packed with passengers and valuable cargo and traveling at normal speed, but suddenly there was an unexpected incident. When he approached the town, Guillermo saw his son signaling with a lantern, and as soon as he got closer, he heard: ""Bridge burning.""

He wanted to protect the passengers and the valuable cargo from the bandits, who were thinking of an easy prize once the burning bridge and the train fell into the deep river... ************************************************************************************************************************ Estaba anocheciendo y Guillermo, el conductor, estaba nervioso.

Normalmente, cuando pasaba por el pueblo, su esposa y su hijo se asomaban por la ventana para saludarlo, pero ahora Guillermo tenía un presentimiento de algo inesperado. El tren iba lleno de pasajeros y con mercancía muy valiosa, y viajaba a una volocidad normal, pero de repente se presentó un incidente desafortunado. Al acercarse al pueblo, Guillermo vio que su hijo le hacía señales con una linterna encendida. En cuanto se acercó lo suficiente pudo oír que José le decía: ""Puente ardiendo."" El puente estaba ardiendo a a punto de derrumbarse sobre el río. Guillermo aumentó la velocidad del tren al máximo para cruzar al otro lado. Quería proteger a los pasajeros y la valiosa mercancía ya que los ladrones deseaban un premio fácil y valioso cuando el puente encendido y el tren cayeran a la profundidad del río...
