Long Summary

Terrorists take over a train carrying nuclear waste materials, and then leave one man, Timpson, to crash the train into the London station.

Airtight reminds Flint that the nuclear waste containers are nearly indestructable. Airtight and Barbecue are lowered to the train, and extinguish fires caused by the terrorists' explosives. The explosives and fire have damaged the couplings, so they aren't able to release the waste containers.

Airtight and Barbecue approach the engine, and disarm Timpson. Timpson reveals that he was in an accident at a nuclear power plant and that he is dying anyway and leaps from the train.

Airtight and Barbecue are barely able to stop the train as it reaches the end of the line.
