The train doesn’t stop. Judd explains how the emergency brake works: Pulling it doesn’t suddenly stop the train but instead alerts the conductors in the cab to decide whether to stop the train. The only conductor on the train is Seamus, who introduces himself as Seamus Callahan, the older brother of Sean Callahan, one of the men killed in the train explosion.
Jack decides to confront the engineer who is running the train. The group, including Judd, follows him under Seamus’s stern supervision. Judd remembers when Kenneth first approached Judd with his scheme. Judd was bitter at Arthur for taking all the credit for the design of the Phoenix and for his subsequent wealth. Judd’s bitterness made him agree to Kenneth’s scheme, which he now regrets. When they reach the locomotive, Jack and Judd pound desperately on the door.
