Derailment of a Train
Needed Vehicles:
Check in the walktrough it's easier
Mission Solution:
This is the toughest mission of the whole game and frankly I think luck is the only decisive factor to complete this one. All I can do is giving you some guidelines to help turn your bad luck around, but this one is mostly up to you.
Send in two MTW with three police officers each, a fully manned RTW, about twenty-five TLF and two RW fully manned with firefighters with respiratory devices. Send in one RW to the factory to the east and a RW and a MTW to the holiday site in the northeast. Send in the other MTW with the
RTW to the southern railway crossing. Have the police officers arrest the three kids and take them away. Let the doctor and the paramedics walk to the train driver and treat him. Let the other MTW evacuate the three road workers (the one diverting traffic cannot be rescued, but he doesn�t get injured either). Now send in both MTW to evacuate the two people on towels near the lake, take all evacuees to the base. Let the firefighters from the RW take a hose and connect it to a hydrant at the factory or the camping site. Divide the TLF as followed:
West of the train accident: there is a small wooden house with a gas tank in the forest, from this house there is a path through the forest heading southeast towards the railway. Put three TLF on that path, put two near the house and another two or three on the road leading towards the north. Also send in three backup TLF to that area to support the others when necessary.
East of the train accident: place two TLF near the southwest corner of the lake and place three TLF at the fire watch tower. Divide the other TLF alongside the road from the holiday site to the railway crossing.
By now there should be fireworks coming from the train (the first time you probably haven�t done all the preparations, don�t worry you�ll get the hang of it). Pick up the engine driver and put him in the ambulance together with the doctor, send the ambulance to the base. A few seconds after the fireworks the train will explode (you cannot prevent the train form exploding, but the longer you wait evacuating the engine driver, the longer it takes for the train to explode). A fire will start west and east of the railway. West of the railway the fire will spread north and towards the southwest, send in a LF to stop the fire spreading towards the north. Check if the TLF on this side start extinguishing the fire and if necessary place the backup TLF in strategic positions. The fire on the western side should be under control now but be sure to check once in a while if it doesn�t spread.
The east side is a whole other story: the fire will be out of reach of your TLF for some time and it will develop into a massive fire. Make sure the fire doesn�t reach the following places: the factory terrain, the northeast side of the lake, the small line of trees near the coast. If it does reach these places you need to make every effort to stop the fire from spreading any further, or else it will go out of control. You can send in a LF to stop the fire
spreading towards the lake and the TLF need to make sure that the fire doesn�t spread �over� the road. If necessary send in extra TLF, but make sure your bank balance doesn�t get any lower than 4000 credits (you�ll need them to pay for extra RTW). When the fire grows big enough the fire watch guy will flee the tower, send in a STW with one officer to rescue him. Use the LF to make sure the fire doesn�t spread north or to far towards the factory.
When the fire goes on and one the forest will burn down and so the fire will grow smaller by itself, extinguishing it should become a little easier now providing you have enough TLF standing by near places the fire can spread to. Once the fires are almost out (it took me almost half an hour to control the fires and much longer to put them all out). Send a firefighter with an axe in all the cottages on the holiday site. There are several wounded here if the fire came to close. Send in fully manned RTW to treat them and take them to the hospital. Also check the paths in the west side of the forest: some civilians may have been wounded because of the heat of the fire.
Once all fires are out, all the wounded have been transported and the town, the factory and the holiday site have been spared, you have accomplished the toughest mission in the game. Congratulations on such a brilliant achievement.
