You seem to think
there's something amusing
About being involved
in a barroom brawl.
Better check the tunnels.
We're getting too much seepage.
Check the other one.
See if they've got it, too.
Other one?
What other one?
We're tunneling in
from both sides. Look.
Here we are.
Here's the other one
coming in along the same axis.
How do you know
they'll meet?
Is that standard
engineering practice?
Will be someday.
My bank isn't interested
in financing experiments.
Let's understand
each other, Mr. Sharon.
You hired me
to build this railroad.
I either do it my way,
or get another engineer.
I don't seem to have
very much choice now.
That's what I figured.
I want to see
this other tunnel.
Hardrock, show Mr. Sharon
the other tunnel.
All right, Jeff.
There's a new one
started over there.
It's coming in back here. It
started a couple of hours ago.
We've tapped underground
water. Get some pumps.
Is it all right
to keep on drilling?
Let's shore it up first.
Give me a hand.
Isn't that seepage
dangerous?
No more than the rest
of the job.
I must say...
Come back!
No!
Let's get help.
Come on, get out of there!
- We're trapped.
- Shut up.
If the roof holds,
we'll be all right.
And if it doesn't,
There's nothing we can do
about it anyway.
There's been a landslide
Kincaid and his crew
are trapped!
The landslide
covered the entrance!
You've got to go in after them
It would take too long
to get through that landslide.
We'll work through tunnel
number two. Let's get going!
Ride into town.
Get all the help you can get.
Come on!
Let's go!
Folks!
Landslide!
There's been a landslide
at the tunnel!
Kincaid and some of the men
are trapped!
We need all the help
we can get!
George, what happened?
Landslide blocked the tunnel.
They need help.
Was anybody inside?
Kincaid and some of the others.
They're trying to dig them out.
Landslide
down at the tunnel!
Alan!
- Alan, did you hear that?
- Yeah, I heard it.
Well, aren't you
going out to help?
No.
Compressor
must have been broken.
This thing won't do us any good.
Let's get it out of the way.
The air in here will last
a couple of days.
We got plenty of water. Start
working here to meet haggerty.
How do you know he's coming
through this way?
Suppose he tries to come in
from the outside.
If he does,
I'll fire him.
Conserve the oil
in the lamp.
Don't move around any more
than you have to.
Come on,
we're wasting time.
I want 150 pounds of pressure.
- What can we do?
- Grab shovels and get inside.
If it were me, I'd still try to
reach him from the other side.
I ain't you.
Give me that drill!
Can I help?
He can use all the help
we can get.
Tell me the truth.
Is there a chance?
Sure, there's a chance.
There's always a chance.
Hear anything?
No.
I'll be all right.
Too soon.
Maybe there ain't
anything to hear.
Keep digging.
If you ask me...
I didn't.
- Take a break, ed.
- Thanks.
I got to get back
to work.
All right,
next shift.
What do you think?
I think I'd like
a big, fat, juicy steak.
Coffee?
Thanks. Been up all night.
Why don't you get some sleep?
I'm all right.
I'll get you some food.
I think I hear something.
I thought...
And it's only the water.
Ha ha ha.
Let's go. Back to work.
Come on.
How's it going?
If Kincaid's figures are right,
You realize, don't you,
that if this shaft
Is one-half a degree out
of line, you'll go right on by?
That's right.
She ain't going to take
much more.
You've got one job.
Just keep them drills going.
Everybody, lie down and don't
move except when you have to.
We better save
what oxygen we got left.
I always knew
I'd get it someday,
But not like this in a rotten,
lousy, stinking place.
Listen.
Listen.
They made it!
We're out!
You've been at it
a long time.
Get a breather.
I'll take over.
I'm all right.
Hey, we broke through!
Hey, we're through!
We made it!
Hold it.
We made it.
We broke through.
Everybody all right?
Doobie,
you're beautiful.
Get hogan.
Good work,
hardrock.
Jeff.
Well, looks like
you've joined the crew.
A general misconception banker's
good to count his money.
- Jeff, I'm so glad.
Hardrock,
anybody hurt outside?
Three hurt, two dead.
Wilson and hildebrand
were caught in a landslide.
- Where did it start?
We've been too busy
down here to check on it.
- Check on it now.
- Now?
See you later.
Sometimes I think
engineers are crazy.
Look at that.
It was solid rock.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have
started the tunnel over there.
What have you got
on your mind?
That's what I came up here
to find out.
This is about
where it started.
There it is.
Drill hole.
Powder burns.
Maybe that freight wagon
was no accident, either.
You got any idea
who did it?
No, but until I find out, they
are not going to get chances.
Whoa.
- Have any trouble on the way?
- All clear.
Get them out
to the assembly camp.
The mechanics are waiting
to put them together.
Okay. Yah!
One more trip,
Will be paid for.
THE RAILROAD NEARS COMPLETION.
Construction Ahead of Schedule.
- Give me two.
- Stop the game, boys.
I'm tired of playing
for matches anyway.
When are we
going to get paid?
Next week, when
the railroad's finished.
What are we going to do,
buy stock in it?
I've been talking to some
of the mine owners.
They've been holding
the bullion back
Till they can ship it
by rail.
There'll be more gold
on that train
Than a dozen stagecoaches
could carry.
It'll be the biggest haul
we've ever made.
We can't go around
holding up trains.
We can get away
with it once.
That's all we need.
This is the big one.
Everybody in town
will be on that train.
There'll be guards...
Leave that to me.
We'll split into four groups.
You and Steve
will go with me.
Frosty, you and Evans
will work together.
Bert, you'll be in charge
of the main party.
Clem, you'll catch up
with us later
Up at stony pass
with the supplies.
- Why pick me for that?
- That's what I worked it out.
Biting off
a pretty big chew.
You've been squawking
about getting out of here.
Well, you can do it now.
One more job,
and we're set for life.
No more rotten food,
Crummy rooms,
stupid people.
I can live
like a gentleman should.
I'll travel to Paris, Rome,
anywhere I want to go.
Yeah, if it works.
It will.
To the railroad.
TRAIN TO MAKE INITIAL RUN TODAY.
Leading citizens from both towns invited.
People certainly have
short memories.
A while back, they wouldn't
let a railroad man in town.
Hello, Susan.
I'm glad you're here.
It's my job.
In case it slipped
your mind, her father
Used to run the newspaper
before he was murdered.
I haven't forgotten that
for one moment.
Well, it's your big day.
Don't let us keep you
