Donut was working in the train yard, uncoupling freight cars going down the hump. He was thinking about the story Ryan told him yesterday. At first, he doubted the story was true, but a few hours ago, Donut heard about a terrible train crash that happened just north of their location.

Donut: Why did Ryan have to tell me that story? The ghost he mentioned could get on board my train, and haunt me.
Meadow: *Stops the train, and looks at Donut* Donut, stop talking to yourself, and uncouple those freight cars!
Donut: Sorry. *Uncouples the first three freight cars from the train*
Meadow: Thank you. *Makes the train ilipat pasulong again at 3 miles an hour*
Michael: *Talking on a loudspeaker* Donut, come to my office.
Donut: Shit. What did I do this time?

In Michael's office

Michael: In Winnemucca, our railway has a shortage on engineers. They want you to go over there, and drive trains for some time.
Donut: How long will I stay there?
Michael: Not too long. You should be back here sa pamamagitan ng tomorrow.
Donut: Okay.

On his way to Winnemucca, Donut crossed the mataas na tulay where Anthony derailed his train.

Donut: I sure hope I don't have to tumawid this bridge on my way back.

But he did. Other tracks to Ogden were blocked off sa pamamagitan ng the snow. When Donut got to the viaduct, it was 11:04 PM.

Donut: *Looks around as he slowly crosses the bridge in his train* Looks like that ghost won't ipakita up anywhere. Ryan made that up. *Sees a kulay-rosas light, and stops his train on the viaduct* Must be a red signal with faulty wiring. That's funny, I don't remember seeing any signal near this bridge.

But it wasn't a signal. It was the ghost of the engineer that crashed her train 18 years ago.

Donut: *Sees the ghost coming towards him* Oh no you don't! *Drives his train backwards, away from the ghost* All I have is eight empty boxcars. You won't get me!!

Donut slept in his train on a siding, and returned to Ogden at 6:30 in the susunod morning.

Donut: *At his house, calling Michael*
Michael: *Answers the phone* Yes?
Donut: Sir? I'm sick. I can't come to work today.
Michael: I'm sorry to hear that. Feel better. *Hangs up*
Donut: Ugh. *Goes to his kama to sleep*
