00:00The dramatization you are about to see is based on an actual, investigated and documented case history of psychic phenomena.
00:08It is the next step beyond.
00:30I forgot to paint the name on that truck.
00:39That's supposed to be an A&P truck.
00:42Okay, Grandpa, now I need three more Sioux Line or cars, numbers 34B, 899, 433, and 770.
00:51Also, could you bring up the mail car?
00:54You can't put a mail car on an or train, Alan.
00:57I know, but it didn't get into the Amtrak run last night.
01:01Who was the dispatcher last night?
01:03You were, Grahams.
01:04Oh? That means you can can me, huh?
01:08Well, I rooted in SW1 to pull it off and drop it off at the Marquette Station.
01:13Then I can keep my job?
01:16Sure, Gus. I'll give you another chance.
01:19Where were you when I needed you?
01:24This is an exact scale model.
01:27The actual railroad that Gus worked on most of his life, until he was forced into a very reluctant retirement.
01:36In a curious, almost hypnotic way, this can become very real indeed.
01:41For Alan, it has become a substitute for the normal life of a 13-year-old.
01:48A way to avoid reality.
01:52Assume it will prove to be a vehicle that will force him into a very harsh reality
01:58when it takes him into the next step beyond.
02:02I've been thinking of changing the relays in the yard to solid state.
02:17I've been thinking of changing the relays in the yard to solid state.
02:31You ever think of anything besides that model?
02:35What do you want to be in life?
02:38Guess I'll go to work for the railroad.
02:39Because that's all you know about.
02:42There's a lot more to life than railroading.
02:45Like what?
02:46Like everything.
02:47You can't know what you want to be, what you're best suited for,
02:51until you open yourself up to the whole of life.
02:55But you picked railroading.
02:57That's all I knew how to do.
02:58And then after 40 years, they fired me.
03:02Because some 23-year-old nurse said I didn't see as good as I used to.
03:07It was just an excuse to unload me.
03:10Is that how you want to end up?
03:12It doesn't have to be that way.
03:14Yeah, that's the way it is.
03:16I'm not going to be around forever.
03:19And your Aunt Millie's going to need a man around the house.
03:21Not a boy.
03:23It's high time you were...
03:24Did the doctor say something about...
03:26I mean, you're okay, aren't you?
03:28Would you like me to come in for a while, Millie?
03:57No, you have to get back, Jeff.
04:00He'll be fine.
04:03Thanks for driving us and for being there.
04:09Will he be all right?
04:11I think so, Patty.
04:13It might help if you'd come over and visit us.
04:15Well, he never wants to see me.
04:17Maybe he'll want to now.
04:19Okay.
04:20I'll try.
04:22Patty, you want a ride home?
04:23It's not far.
04:24Thanks anyway.
04:29You are a good friend.
04:31What do you want to see me?
04:31We'll walk away.
04:32You're a good friend.
04:35From here...
04:39...
04:42I'll go in for a while.
04:43It's not far away.
04:45Not far away.
04:47You're a good friend.
04:48Come on.
04:49про hmm.
04:50One day.
04:51They don't like me.
04:52What are you...
04:52Answer!
04:53Answer me.
04:53I'll go...
04:54Knowing you and me.
04:54I'll go home.
04:54I'm going for you.
04:55Oh, you're a good friend.
04:57Hi.
05:20Patty, I'm kind of busy right now.
05:21Are you running the trains?
05:23No, I'm not.
05:24I mean, I mean, yes, but I...
05:25Can I see them?
05:26I've never seen them.
05:27I won't touch anything.
05:28I promise.
05:30Oh, please let me see the trains.
05:32Please.
05:33Okay, okay.
05:34Come on, then.
05:34Thanks.
05:44I can't believe this.
05:46I had no idea.
05:49Have any of the kids at school ever seen this?
05:52They'd flip.
05:54You want to have everyone over.
05:55All right, that'll be the day.
05:57Now, this is the greatest toy I've ever seen.
06:00This isn't a toy.
06:01It's a motor railroad.
06:02It's an exact replica of the real one where my grandpa worked.
06:06I'm sorry.
06:08Does it run?
06:09Of course it runs.
06:10This is wonderful.
06:13There's a station.
06:17There's a stupid school.
06:23It has everything.
06:25Could you show me how to run a train?
06:27Don't just run her.
06:29My lord's wings and blocks.
06:31It has a schedule.
06:32This isn't a wind-up model running around a Christmas tree.
06:44What happened?
06:46I don't know.
06:47Do the cars and trucks run, too?
06:49No, they don't.
06:50I don't know.
07:15and when the track passenger train slammed into the truck the impact caused the train to leave
07:43the rails total damage has not yet been evaluated but railroad officials expect that it will be
07:49substantial fortunately the number of casualties is surprisingly small only 20 hurt and most of the
07:56injuries are not believed to be serious police are still trying to find the man who drove the
08:00truck onto the tracks and left it there either because it stalled or because he purposely abandoned
08:05the vehicle just before impact according to the owner the truck was stolen exactly the same accident
08:12no it isn't yes it is look even the make of the truck matches that was the park street crossing
08:17on a layout too it's a coincidence pretty weird coincidence maybe you better tell lieutenant
08:25burns that's silly no one was in the truck nope well how did i get there i have no idea i saw the picture
08:35in the paper the truck was demolished well when a diesel hits a truck it's no contest gp18 has a pretty
08:41heavy engine did you get under the wreck i uh read it in the paper this morning's it didn't mention
08:49what type of an engine helen is something wrong it's just a coincidence one of the trains on my model hit
08:55a truck yesterday it was kind of like what happened at the fifth street crossing it was a southern pacific
09:00engine mine was i mean so patty was there and she said it's just that the same accident happened before
09:08the real one i mean exactly the same it was like the model predicted it or something but it's just a
09:16coincidence excuse me excuse me millie has he ever learned to drive you got started to drive a tractor a
09:26few years ago why oh you don't think that alan just a cop mind never stops well his heart shouldn't either
09:36i'm sorry that was stupid of me you have to ease the power on what circuit are you on 16. okay don't jerk it
09:50how was that that was pretty good i want to take out the micado on the overland 410 too you got it
10:06how did that happen did you start that train you know i didn't but i can't from this console anyway
10:23it's in another block signal lights out the wire's broken looks like it's been cut you know what we ought to
10:32do call it to do call lieutenant burns for what to tell him i mean well maybe it's like the other accident
10:42can you explain why it happened before i told you it was just a coincidence you don't really believe that do you
11:02it occurred at 4 a.m this morning this is the second serious train wreck in this
11:32area in the last few days and once again the police suspect sabotage preliminary reports indicate that
11:39the tracks were tampered with in a deliberate attempt to cause this accident however there is
11:44no indication at this time as to who may have been responsible or why police are working on a number of
11:51leads and have asked that anyone with any knowledge that may pertain to this accident or the previous one
11:57contact them immediately the identity of the informant will be kept confidential
12:04we do not yet have a list of the injured but we will i don't believe there's a connection millie i just
12:09want to talk to him there's no doubt in my mind it's the kid it adds up grandfather was sore at the
12:16railroad for dumping him now that he's dead the kid's mad at the world especially the railroad he's getting
12:22revenge huh let's go take a look at the mall
12:30how was this cut i don't know what did you do after patty left to come and talk to me i just went out
12:36walking around where just in the neighborhood anybody see you i don't know look i didn't do anything i
12:44swear it some of the neighbors must have seen you why can't you believe him you've known alan all
12:50his life jeff we'll check the neighbors anyhow jeff you don't really just keep him around
12:55it keep him close to home for a while could you do that please if you suspect alan why would you believe
13:01me
13:18i'm sorry about what happened
13:20we're right i should listen to you it doesn't matter
13:23yes it does people should listen to each other would you listen to me i guess so i'm scared of
13:32what trains and the layout why well i think it's saying something and nobody's listening
13:42do you believe in god alan i guess so have you ever really thought about it i mean really
13:49i guess i haven't all that much i have it's pretty scary too in the same way it makes you feel
13:56very tiny like those people in the layout what do you think is happening alan i don't know i sure don't know
14:18what do you think is happening and it is apparent that this was also no accident as a matter of fact
14:31the authorities are now certain that this terrible wreck like the two previous train crashes is the
14:36work of a saboteur the only question that remains is motive since no one has claimed responsibility the
14:43police are searching for anyone who may have a personal grudge against the railroad they admit
14:48that all previous leads have proved to be dead ends the simple fact is that no one has any knowledge
14:55of who may be causing these accidents much less why and the theory that they are the work of a mentally
15:00disturbed individual seems the most likely possibility we still do not have a list of the injured but we
15:07expect we will be able to announce it on the 11 o'clock news
15:14what other suspect we got lieutenant well i still don't believe that alan would do such a thing
15:18yeah well the railroad does the mayor does the commissioner does and i do and everyone's getting
15:25real impatient for us to nail whoever it is where's the kid right now for instance yeah uh-huh
15:35where okay i'm on my way but another accident bad one has he been here all day all day why has he run the
15:46model what's happened i want to see it it's the same exactly the same accident millie it's too much of a
15:56coincidence he wasn't down here i believe you what alan i know it wasn't you it wasn't why would i want
16:03to wreck a train you're gonna move in over there yes for how long for as long as it takes what for
16:13to watch the model watch them up you're gonna watch the model yeah officer woodward lieutenant burns
16:21your superior is gonna watch the model any objections no good he's gonna watch the model

19:09you know where that is it's in the yard of stevensville
19:11that's where you're calling that's almost an hour from here are you sure i'm absolutely
19:15positive and that train runs by there at 410
19:17at 410
19:33what for explosives a wire anything
19:35do
19:41uh
19:45uh
19:47have
19:49in
19:55uh
19:57yeah
20:01that
20:03I've got a feeling our boy's still going to be around.
20:20You were right, boss. He's our boy.
20:23I bet you're wondering how we found out.
20:33No! Come on!
20:44No! Please! Come on! Stop!
21:03That switch is not remote-controlled. Nothing in the yard is.
21:16No!
21:20No!
21:22No, no!
21:26No!
21:29No, no, no!
21:32While there is a whole mountain of evidence
21:49which indicates the dead sometimes do make contact with the living,
21:55some parapsychologists believe it, and others are not convinced.
21:59The actual case histories remain to be explained, or explained away.
22:07The important thing for Alan is that Gus found a way to use his legacy,
22:12the model railroad, to help the boy move out of his cocoon into the world,
22:17to take a giant step toward manhood.
22:20For Alan, it was indeed the next step beyond.
22:29A
22:53Oh, my God.
23:23You, I'm going to be able to follow the shadows.
23:27I'm going to be able to move the shadows.
23:31I'm going to open the doors and make the happenings of a certain time.
23:36I'm going to be able to walk you in the future.
23:39I'm going to be with you.
23:53Oh, my God.
