Next Stop, Lost Angels

Scenario Description

It seems like you've been on this infernal train forever. You picked up the line in Dodge City and still have a long way to go until you reach Lost Angels. California holds the promise of new opportunities and rich futures for some, yet since the great quake it seems to hold just as much death and despair.

You've kept an eye on your fellow passengers along the way. Each seems to have their own interesting story. Some are open about their intentions and the purpose of this trek out west. Others are hiding something. You're certain that there are more than a couple of dangerous varmints sitting in this rackety car. The vibration and the constant grind of the train are wearing your patience, you can't wait to reach your destination and continue on your way.

By best estimates you're in the middle of no where in Arizona, not much longer to go until you reach Lost Angels. If you can just make it a little longer without any problems, you may just make it into just after dawn...
