"900)}Episode 8 "I'll Deliver It" "Takayama-kun?" "Y-Yeah..." "That sounds good." "I'd ride a train if you were driving it." "too..." "You dress up more than usual only to find out you're not the star of the show." "H-Huh?" "It was so embarrassing." "I took it out on everyone." "What are you talking about?" "Don't get the wrong idea." "Oh?" "Who's got the wrong idea?" "Although..." "I don't feel bad about it at all." "What?" "nothing... about whomever I want." "H-Hey..." "Noa!" "What?" "Does this bother you?" "but..." "This isn't the time..." "Are you being shy?" "That's not..." "Takayama!" "Here." "It's raining hard out there." "Sassho." "Noa?" "Help yourself." "Oh..." "I sent her a message earlier and asked her to buy us something warm." "Takayama-kun?" "Huh?" "!" "That's okay." "I'm not against the idea of competing for your affection." "Here." "Thanks." "I appreciate it." "I'm heading back." "I have rehearsal later." "right?" "Thanks for this." "You're welcome." "this is Takayama." "Instructor Narita?" "Right now?" "We're in town." "Yes..." "Yes." "What?" "!" "Got it!" "We'll be right there!" "There's been a landslide at Kumanotaira!" "The express Shinshu is stopped at Yagasaki." "We're to head there and guide passengers out." "Sorry." "We have to go." "Yeah..." "Good luck." "Takayama-kun... too." "We apologize for the inconvenience." "The trains are backed up as far as the Karuizawa platform." "We have to ask all of you to walk back." "We appreciate your cooperation." "Stay calm!" "Please watch your step and take your time!" "You guys look terrible." "But you were a big help." "Good work out there." "so don't expect it to be that good." "But it can at least help warm you up." "Thank you." "Here." "Thanks." "Sakurai..." "Your coffee's getting cold." "I know that!" "It's bitter!" "Please get the trains moving!" "That's not possible." "You have to do something!" "Please!" "What's the matter?" "This lady has asked to..." "I need the trains running!" "We really can't." "All inspections indicate that restoration will take at least four hours..." "I need to deliver this as quickly as possible!" "A person's life depends on it!" "Why don't we listen to what she has to say?" "S-Sir!" "You were here?" "Did you have any trouble coming through the rain?" "Who's that?" "Dunno..." "And all the way out here... he must be someone important from Railway Security." "from the Japanese Organs Transit System." "I was transporting an organ needed for a transplant by car but all the highways are closed..." "I managed to come this far by trains but now I'm stuck here." "The railways are facing the same problem." "The landslide has stopped the Shinetsu Main Line as well as the Hokuriku bullet train." "What about the Hokuriku Expressway?" "but..." "The organ won't be usable by then." "I have to deliver it to the hospital in Maebashi within two hours!" "there's no..." "Please!" "I'm begging you!" "I'll deliver it!" "we should run down the tracks if we have to!" "I can get to Yokokawa in two hours!" "Haruka." "You can't guarantee you'll make it to Yokokawa in two hours." "you won't make it to Maebashi." "I'll still do it!" "This organ transplant could save someone's life!" "I'm sure the donor also believed that when they died." "Haruka..." "I refuse to give up on that belief over something like this!" "Koumi-san." "What?" "We don't have time!" "there's a faster way to get to Yokokawa." "The landslide is just past Kumanotaira." "right?" "so I don't know how safe it is..." "But it's not impassable." "Yes..." "A train drove over it during inspections in spring and there was no breakage along the track." "All right." "Then let's get there via the old track." "too." "I'll go with you." "Takayama-kun..." "That's not gonna work." "Why not?" "If we're just going down the mountain..." "Marching in the rain is a battle of strength." "you won't stand a chance." "right?" "You guys..." "This year's K4 is an interesting bunch..." "Wakayama-kun." "Yes?" "Would a rail cycle work?" "An ED42?" "!" "it's too small..." "Abt-kun." "It looks like an amusement park ride." "Will this help us?" "And why do you call it "kun"?" "What's this?" "It was originally designed to be pedaled by four people." "Only one cycle is rigged up right now but an on-board battery powers electric motors in the two adjacent cycles so it should be fine just going downhill." "in the rear." "so use it with care." "This is the operation manual." "It's thick!" "Leave that to me!" "Amazing..." "Leave that to Haruka!" "Hurry up!" "I'm counting on you." "I have someone standing by in Yokokawa Station." "Please give it to them!" "Got it!" "Leave the rest to us!" "I don't give a damn!" "My students are going there!" "Just do as you're told!" "Takayama!" "I told the guys in charge of the tracks up ahead that you're coming." "You can ignore the railroad signals." "Right!" "I've finished reading!" "let's go!" "We're counting on you to drive." "Huh?" "Who else can do it but you?" "don't you?" "Y-Yeah." "Then hurry up and give us instructions" "Deputy Director." "Deputy Director?" "Deputy Director!" "Okay!" "I'll handle driving." "explain to everyone how to operate it." "you pedal to keep us moving." "you'll assist us in the event of an emergency." "Roger!" "we'll be going!" "Thank you." "Wait a moment!" "It's been sitting unused for a long time." "The battery is most likely flat." "The manual said the electric motor doesn't just assist but is built as an integrated unit." "If we can start up the motor by pedaling it should work as a power generator." "Got it!" "It's stiff!" "You can't!" "The frame is too large for one person to move alone!" "It'll be faster to go back and replace the battery." "Sakurai!" "We don't have time for that!" "I knew clothes like this just weren't for me..." "Now I can move." "right?" "So it's just like pushing a motorcycle to start it up." "Iwaizumi!" "We'll give it all we've got!" "All right!" "too!" "I'll help..." "You focus on driving." "He's right." "You need to do your best at the thing only you can do." "Right!" "three." "give us the word!" "Here we go!" "One..." "Two..." "Three!" "The voltage is rising!" "It's gonna work!" "Sakurai." "But..." "We'll handle the rest." "Leave it to us." "Sakurai!" "Thanks!" "I'm going!" "K4!" "Thank you!" "you'll be there!" "Good luck!" "Takayama-kun?" "Running red lights that's all." "We're starting the descent." "Got it!" "Iwaizumi!" "You can stop pedaling!" "What'd you say?" "!" "He said you can stop pedaling!" "Huh?" "!" "Any more speed would be too dangerous!" "Got it!" "The lever next to to the driver's seat is the brake for the two rear wheels." "Okay!" "We're not slowing down!" "This is like a roller coaster... the longest tunnel in the Usui Pass." "How many tunnels are there?" "Sixteen to go." "From here to the midway point at the Kumanotaira signal station so the tunnels are large and in good shape..." "But the track beyond that was constructed in the Meiji period." "We'll have to be careful." "Takayama-kun." "Y-You couldn't help it." "Y-Yeah..." "Takayama!" "It feels like we're leaning!" "no!" "We might tip!" "Iwaizumi!" "Can you shift our weight back somehow?" "!" "Deputy Director!" "Thanks... it'll be rough up ahead." "Aoi!" "Activate the D-unit!" "This thing with the "D" on it?" "Yeah!" "Pull that!" "That's the dynamic brake." "It's no good!" "We're barely slowing at all!" "It takes a little time for the D-unit to kick in." "This one's bigger than before!" "We'll never make the turn!" "Aoi?" "!" "there's never a dull moment when I'm with Takayama!" "Wh-What are you doing?" "!" "It's dangerous to stand there!" "no matter where I stand!" "Damn it!" "right?" "You're right!" "We need to further reduce our speed before we reach the old track." "But will the brakes hold out that long?" "Aoi!" "Iwaizumi-kun!" "There's an S-curve ahead!" "then right!" "Roger!" "Here it comes!" "Now the right!" "Okay!" "Don't make all those weird noises." "You sound like idiots." "Yeah..." "Maybe I am an idiot." "Huh?" "Getting into stupid ego clashes and fights all over this train-obsessed idiot." "Ow!" "You're right." "It's pretty stupid." "hot!" "Is this thing broken or something?" "is working properly." "though?" "The manual said that it converts generated power to heat through resistance so it might get a little hot..." "I see it!" "This is Kumanotaira!" "Thank you all!" "We don't know what kind of shape the old track is in!" "Be careful!" "Good luck!" "Thanks!" "We're going!" "Thank you!" "We'll do our best!" "Thank you!" "We're coming to the old track." "It might get bumpy." "take care of the container." "Right!" "How many more tunnels?" "Yokokawa is next." "right?" "The hard part starts now." "This track isn't normally used anymore." "there's no telling what will happen." "this thing will derail in an instant." "Ow..." "But that doesn't mean we can stop now." "We stay together to the end." "no matter what!" "We'll go through hell if we have to!" "guys!" "Takayama-kun!" "Takayama!" "The 11.2 kilometers between" "Yokokawa and Karuizawa are known as the Abt Section." "it reaches a pitch of 66.7 per mille." "Trains would ascend it using the Abt system in which a gear beneath the train frame fit into a toothed rack rail." "the creak of the gear..." "And for the killing blow: me on the brakes!" "Rail Wars episode 9:" "1)}Episode 9 "Thank You" "Thank You." "What?" "Abt-kun isn't slowing down?" "Roger!" "Leave this to me!" "0000"
