Bert Wilson's Twin Cylinder Racer

A bustling June morning at a small Midwestern depot turns chaotic when a shunted Mogul engine springs to life and barrels down the line unchecked. Among the startled crowd, a tall, muscular motorcyclist—still half‑in conversation with friends—spies the danger and leaps into action, seizing the station agent’s telegraph key before panic can freeze him. His quick mind and steady hands send an urgent summons to the next station, buying precious seconds as the locomotive gathers terrifying speed.

With the clock ticking and a scheduled train only miles away, the rider races against the inexorable steel beast, aware that a head‑on collision could spell disaster for everyone on the tracks. His daring intervention sets the tone for a series of high‑octane escapades that blend daring technology, rugged frontier spirit, and clever problem‑solving, promising listeners a thrilling ride through perilous railways and beyond.
