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. The bridge that crossed the river was on fire, and about to collapse. Guillermo increased the train's speed to its maximum to try and quickly get over the bridge. 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...
