I turned to the train engineer that our men had dragged along with them when we withdrew to the cut bank. He cocked his head to one side and assumed a blank expression. I searched my limited Spanish. He frowned for a second, then his eyes brightened. We have the steam.

I raised my voice. Bear a hand with that litter. He came at the run. Take two men and form a rear guard on this side of the train. Swing aboard as the train moves out.
