who are tearing up my tracks and frankly my construction crews and acquitting ought to know the united states army back again pacific if they did it might very possibly start shooting the first shot is what starts wars and our object is to finish this railroad first so we can supply brit the kansas pacific is a military project mr johnson you'll identify him to your employees as a civilian engineer or a general now let's get busy back we can have a decent place to live a little company thirdly and after twenty years of building railroads and you won't have any trouble getting work back there should i listen to you in the first place the sooner we can get of smokes that get ready in the first place i got nothing to get ready and then the second brace i'm not believe i w i said i'm not leaving i've worked for sure and johnson just as long as you have i think is a smart man and a fur boss and i'm sure he has good reasons for the decisions he makes for sides it's not just my nature to quit something nice stock smokestack you and i have been together for over twenty years so i can get all the work i want back east you know that but well it just won't seem right if you don't come along different sure it's different the countries about ready to bust why don't put in a line like they can just pacific might help to hold it together and you'll want to quit just because they're sending a construction engineer out probably some kid just out of college you think you can build a railroad with a slide rule you need all the help you can get so stick around he's got a point josh must have some reason it does look like we might have a war dad don't you start talking about the war too what's the sense in worrying about something i'll probably never have the worry about maybe won't happen s i expect i'm sure they are i'm a new construction engineer oh boy you must be the man of mr johnson telegraphed that's right have a chair where will i find mr brooks i have be along any minute you'll hear the engine is going on making some changes around here i expect very possibly telegraph operator three one hard to find you all right yeah i'm all right but if he's your new construction engineer when you go back to work on that railroad of yours you'll go back without me when your man mr bruce it was probably the best gang boss i had feelings are running a say this new fellow nelson i've got i don't know anything about of yet except that he's a construction engineer and all you boys will get jobs keep your eyes on him i got a feeling he might give us a little trouble to get him right in the us i wouldn't be surprised if troops here good yankee uniforms and make nice targets it isn't our job to stop the war man we're to stop that train or at least to the limit the longer we keep the yankees from reaching the western forts by rail the more time will give the confederacy to get ready what we're doing is important very important and don't any of you forget it i'll tell you want to strive to start shooting until that time you'll have to follow orders are there any arguments no argument but i guess some of us are just a little league they'll be plenty of action for all of us we've all along maybe even more than we want to like boys go see her tomorrow night me the idea that it's for the production of the railroad they're entitled to it especially in the east how many of these armed guards you figure in ireland many as we need forty or fifty if we are asked of us how much is going to cost the company will have to provide h anybody else has any idea about holding up construction you're going to leave now a lot of things like that even happen around here i think it was just bad luck some of it probably was but not this time i'm sorry overruled your orders i didn't mean to do that oh you didn't know you're like instruction boss i'm just your way of dealing with them have telling them look even though you were brought up in a railroad car there are some things about this business you don't understand understand it when i see someone trying to take away your job next exactly what he's doing is all know he as of now if you'll just listen to be a minute come on i thank you barbara yes that is  i told you today mr bruce i'm not here to fight with you i just want to get this line across kansas as fast as possible that's all well and then i didn't like the idea of all main jobs in the senate somebody out in a take over but a sent the right man  be working with you and your father and i hope you'll get over your resentment of me quickly what makes you think you'll eventually going to stand where you might but i'm not here to take your father's job from him he realizes that i'm sure we have the same appreciate what he's appreciated here believe me i wish i could someday you'll understand and i hope it soon because then you and i can be  thing that sounds good is the twenty five k s the dynamite a lot of stuff they're offering like it's almost worth wrecking that train to get rid of know i've got other plans for that train when the time comes what you said janice makes a little sense that dynamite does sound interesting the only way i'd be interested in it would be if nelson was sitting on it i had a match never mind knows if we can stop this line without bloodshed that's what we're going to do is that understood all right just so long as we stop and good about that dynamite take advantage of the terrain there's a natural pass right here that won't require too much blasting well it's good so that's what you do in our morning right now jan i want to give you a little advice sure they're in trouble john i know i coulda sworn i heard a gunshot just before that stuff bl on i think that fight was stage two will soon find out i'll make one of those monkeys talk they've had twenty of them to get away by now what's next there isn't much more we can do except wait until tomorrow morning and find out how many men we still got  working for what about the man who did this good question cal but i got a better one what about the man behind a podium me i wish i knew but i somebody somebody who is determined to keep this line from going through this is all been organized the sabbath are the threats the unrest i'm sure of it the day we had our first looks like we're already in the war everybody keeps talking about this is worse than war and war at least you know you're fighting there's still a couple of cases in the tool that it'd be a shame to let that go to waste i kind of like to see that locomotive of theirs in piece when when the army sent him out to take over sorry i didn't tell you about it before but i could i don't know how your father found out about it but that doesn't matter i just guessed the important thing is that i that we need i thought the word tough was just tough but it's just say a lot of men working for the railroad after the accident we had today well i'm offering you extra wages to come back double pay for every man who stays with a light until we get the colorado board well i don't know about the rest of mr nelson but i'll go back to work i i hope you didn't quantrill two men were killed today one of mine and one of somebody else might have been more than that if you fired into that dynamite and when you've done it  going pretty far just to prove simple robbery or a dangerous man or others around are much more dangerous thanks for the drink and we're going to start like track again but trains running on them are another class that's all of us let them spend their money on time building and i've got too many men now for us to stage any kind of an attack but the minute they put a train on those tracks we'll blow it off the prairie with what with artillery well lined up on the tracks from one of those up we're in business all right and just in time carroll yeah everybody else was afraid of getting shot at with can they would use artillery on personnel trains or their targets well he's the only man i've been able to convince so they're preparing a track won't be easy but we'll get it done
