Frank: Mr. Galvin, with all due respect, I've been railroading twenty-eight years. I'm telling you, we got a real chance to stop this thing. Oscar Galvin: No, we already tried. Frank: That was from the front. We're long hood lead back. It's a different situation. We got more control now. Oscar Galvin: What if I cancel the derailer and you fail, Frank? Huh? That train will be doing seventy miles an hour into that elevated S-curve in Stanton. The damage will be a hundred times worse. Frank: Right. I'm just telling you, the portable derailer is worthless. You got too much train traveling entirely too fast.

And we can't let 777 make it to Stanton. Look Mr. Galvin, with all due respect. I've been railroading 28 years. I'm telling you. We got a real chance to stop this thing. No, we already tried. That was from the front. We're long hood lead back. It's a different situation. We got more control now. What if I cancel the derailer and you fail, Frank? That train will be doing 70 miles an hour into that elevated S-curve in Stanton. The damage will be 100 times worse. Right, I'm just telling you. The portable derailer is worthless. You got too much train traveling entirely too fast. Maybe 1206 should just stay on it as a backup. Look, I am not jeopardizing more personnel and more property just because some engineer wants to play hero. End of discussion! That train is our property. It's our decision! Now you stop your pursuit or I will fire you! Fire. (CHUCKLES) You already did. Already did what? You've already fired me. I received my 90-day notice in the mail, 72 days ago. Forced early retirement. Half benefits. So you're going to risk your life for us with three weeks left. Not for you. I'm not doing it for you. WILL: Frank, let me see that thing. Mr. Galvin, this is Will Colson. Your conductor.
