A trip to a huge abandoned factory turns into an adventure in discovery for C.J. and Ned. There are more machines than they can count! But instead of sharing in their enthusiasm, the new owner wishes…
Howdy, and welcome to Wildwood.
Nothing quite causes the heart of a fella to race with anticipation as when he's on a steam engine heading off on an adventure.
And I assure you that the hearts of CJ, Ned, and CJ's father, Theo, are all racing today.
They've traveled deep into Wild Mountain, deeper than either of the boys have gone before.
For the last couple of hours, Ned and CJ have been driving the conductor half-crazy with questions of train wrecks, bandit attacks, avalanches, and freak tornadoes.
I've told you both 100 times, there has never been a train wreck since before I was a boy.
No bandits, no avalanches that trapped any trains, nothing.
There is nothing to worry about.
Quit asking questions like that.
You're making the passengers nervous.
We're all perfectly safe on this train.
Aw.
Is there a chance we could get knocked off the track by a flash flood?
That would be fun.
Ha.
Fellas, I have a, a headache.
I'll be back later.
Huh.
I've met friendlier.
Let's go sit down.
[footsteps shuffling] So he, he, he built a factory in Glenwood?
No, he inherited it from his uncle.
Almost.
