Runaway Train
At Chattanooga's historic Choo Choo, your witness-protection transport has been compromised - and the train keeping you safe was never meant to arrive.

The Story
At the Chattanooga Choo Choo, your team steps into the role of protected witnesses whose lives depend on making it to court. Six months ago, you agreed to testify against Joseph Guarino, one of the most dangerous crime bosses in the country, in exchange for amnesty and a new identity. Since then, the U.S. Marshals have kept you hidden, moving you carefully and trusting almost no one with your location.
Now comes the final transfer. To get you to the hearing without exposing the route, the Marshals move you aboard an old armored cargo train, blindfolding you as you board and locking you inside for the ride. The plan is simple: stay hidden, arrive at Eagleton City, testify, survive. But somewhere along the line, somebody talks. Your cover is blown. The train is compromised. The doors are locked, the danger is real, and the one thing that was supposed to deliver you safely is suddenly carrying you straight toward disaster. Can your team escape before the runaway train reaches the end of the line?
