:38:06
Damn!
:38:08
It blew the fuel injection manifold.
Strong stuff, all right.
:38:13
It will take me a month to rebuild it.
:38:16
A month?
:38:18
- You're gonna get shot on Monday!
- I know!
:38:21
I wish...
:38:23
Wait.
:38:24
I've got it! We can roll it down a steep hill!
:38:27
We'll never find a smooth enough surface.
Unless...
:38:30
Of course! Ice!
:38:32
We'll wait until winter
when the lake freezes over.
:38:35
Winter? What are you saying?
Monday is three days away!
:38:38
All right. Let's just think
this thing through logically.
:38:42
We know it won't run under its own power.
We know we can't pull it.
:38:46
But if we could figure out a way...
:38:49
...to push it up to 88 miles an hour...
:39:01
That's it.
:39:03
How fast can she go?
Why, I've had her up to 55 myself.
:39:07
I heard that Fearless Frank Fargo
got one of these up to near 70...
:39:11
...out past Verde Junction.
:39:12
Do you think it's possible to get it up to 90?
:39:15
Ninety? Tarnation.
Who would ever need to be in such a hurry?
:39:19
Just a little bet he and I have, that's all.
:39:21
Theoretically speaking, could it be done?
:39:24
I suppose, if you had a straight
stretch of track with a level grade...
:39:27
...and you weren't hauling no cars...
:39:30
...and if you could get the fire hot enough.
:39:32
I'm talking about hotter than the blazes
of Hell itself.
:39:35
It might be possible to get her up that fast.
:39:38
When does the next train come through?
:39:40
Monday morning at 8:00.
:39:41
Here. This spur that runs
off the main line 3 miles out to Clayton Ravine.
:39:45
It's a long stretch of level track
that will still exist in 1985.
:39:49
This is where we'll push the DeLorean
with the locomotive.
:39:53
Funny. This map calls Clayton Ravine
"Shonash Ravine."
:39:56
That must be the old Indian name for it.
It's perfect.
:39:59
A long run that goes
across the bridge over the ravine...
