When Lee, and Bill returned to the train, they saw that the others were captured by other men, along with a few diesels, including Dragovich, and Josh.

Dragovich: *Next to Jessica* Well, looks like you got yourself stuck on another hill.
Jessica: *Gives Dragovich an angry stare*
Dragovich: I've seen you many times before, stuck on many hills. Pleasuring yourself with wheel slip. You're a disgusting sludge.
NS 6329: What? Heading for our vicinity?!
Josh: What?
NS 6329: 21 diesels are heading straight for us!

Song: link

A horn went off, and the sound of 21 diesels could be heard.

Lee: *Sees the headlights from the diesels* It's the heritage units.


















EL 1700: Gentlemen, target's just in sight. Deploy machine guns.
CNJ 1071: Copy that.

All heritage units deployed machine guns.

Dragovich: Get out of here!!! *Leaving with the other diesels*
NS Employees: *Running away* We'll be back!

Once the heritage units were well out of sight, still chasing Dragovich's gang, Ethan arrived.

Ethan: *Stops next to Jessica* Did I miss anything?
NS 2524: They have machine guns!!
LV 8104: We're in range sir. Ready to fire on your command.
EL 1700: 10-4. Fire.
CNJ 1071: *Shoots the SD70*
Dragovich: You have guns too you idiots!! Return fire!!
NS 2502: *Deploys an AK47*
EL 1700: *Shoots the AK47 off of the engine in front of him*
LV 8104: *Shoots 2502 off the tracks*
NS 6329: *Scared*
Dragovich: Shoot them!
NS 6329: I can't do it!
Dragovich: Why not?!
NS 6329: Because I'm an SD50!! *Shoots himself*
NYC 1066: Pfft. That one was too easy.
PRR 8102: Good, because "someone" got drunk on Irish diesel fuel again.
VGN 1069: *Pointing his machine guns up in the air* I will exterminate the moon!!!!
Wab 1070: What is it with people, and the moon?
Dragovich: Stop chasing us!!
Josh: We surrender!! *Braking*
Dragovich: No!! *Uncouples from Josh, and continues running*

The Erie Lackawanna SD45-2 stopped with some others behind him. They coupled up to Josh, and pulled him back.

CR 8098: I hope the others can catch that one diesel.

The song fades away as 1700 returned with 1067, 1066, 1068, 1072, 8098, and 8105.

Ethan: Where are the other heritage units?
Erie 1068: Still chasing that other NS diesel. The others have been killed.
Tyler: Great. We were able to fix Jessica's throttle.
Brian: And we restarted her fire.
William: Now we just need to find a way to get over this hill.
Jessica: *Blushing as she bites her lower lip, staring at the heritage units* I got a plan.

Song (Start at 2:14): link

The heritage units that returned with Josh pushed Jessica's train. Josh also helped, watching the other engines help Jessica get her train to the top.

Ethan: *Following close behind* You sure you don't need my help?
Interstate 8105: We appreciate it little buddy, but we got this.
CR 8098: Plus, you got those four coal hoppers to worry about.
Ethan: *Looks back at his hopper cars* Oh, right. Almost forgot. I have been pulling these cars for a very long time.

In no time at all, Jessica, and the others successfully made it over the hill. Ethan continued to follow Jessica, while the heritage units went back the other way with Josh.
