This temporarily blocks the rival road's plan, but only until its force of men has been strengthened. A freight pulls into the Lone Point station. Although the water in the locomotive tank is almost exhausted, the engine crew decide to have their lunch before filling up. Word comes to Helen that the Salt Lake's men have been attacked and overpowered by the rival road's forces. She immediately tries to get in touch with headquarters, but finds that the wires have been cut. Knowing that unless the rival road's men can be blocked, they will throw their line across the Salt Lake's tracks, Helen desperately tries to find a way in which to best the intruders. The freight in front of the station gives her an idea. Leaping into the cab of the engine, she opens the throttle and sends the train dashing toward the spot where the intruders are at work. Knowing that the water is all gone, Helen climbs out on the swaying engine and opens the exhaust valve so as to allow all the steam to escape. As the result, the freight comes to a dead halt just as it reaches the spot where the rival road's men propose to cross the tracks. Although Helen is captured, word of what has taken place reaches McKay and he rushes to the scene with more men. The tracklayers try hard to shove the blocking train out of the way, but meet with no success. With the arrival of McKay's men a hot hand-to-hand fight ensues. It ends when the rival road's men are beaten and made prisoners. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
