<h1>Unhappy Engine Noises</h1>
<p>
Michelle pokes her head out from underneath the train.<br />
<span class="quote speech">I think thats it.</span><br/>
She puts a large piece of leftover hose aside and crawls out.<br >
<span class="quote speech">That was quick. Nice work.</span><br />
Jack walks over to the compartment holding the batteries, takes the cables
off the terminals, and hooks them up to his makeshift power supply. Then,
he starts the generator and climbs into the train. Michelle follows him
and they go to the driver&apos;s cabin. Jack turns the key switch and
parts of the dashboard light up. He flips the switch for the fuel pump.
<br />
<span class="quote speech">Well, this is progress already.</span><br />
He points to the fuel pressure gauge; the needle slowly creeps to the
right. He pushes engine start button. The engine begins to turn over but
it doesn&apos;t start. He holds the button. The engine begins to turn
over again. After a moment, it accelerates but it still doesn&apos;t run.
He keeps holding the button for a while but the engine won&apos;t start.
