CHAPTER TWENTY

“We ain’t gettin’ nowhere,” Beans said, sitting down on the floor of the engine, breathing heavily. His body gleamed gold from the single kerosene lamp illuminating the inside of the cab, as well as from the exertion of digging through the snow. “We’ve dug a tunnel forty feet long or longer, and all I see is snow and more snow. Besides, workin’ this hard we’re just breathin’ harder and usin’ up more air.”

“We don’t have any choice.” Don frowned. “We have to keep digging, no matter how far we have to go. If we don’t get from under all this snow, we will eventually run out of air.”

“You’re right there. But I tell you true, I don’t see how we are going to do it.”

Don took the shovel for his turn at digging. Then he turned back toward Beans with a smile on his face. “Whoa, I just thought of something. We’re digging in the wrong direction!” He pointed down. “We need to dig down to the ground.”

“Why? What good would that do us? That would just put us under more snow, wouldn’t it?”

“Not if we get under the train. We’ll dig down to the ground, then crawl under the train all the way to the back.”

“What if the whole train is under snow?” Beans questioned.

“We’ll just pray that it isn’t.”
