Silver goes into the cabin. He sees that there is a dead stallion pushed aside and onto the ground beneath and to the left of the driver's chair. He sees that there is at least one bullet hole. He sees that a panel of the front window has been physically removed, with trickle trails of blood leading up to it. And he sees a stick in the center, with a pedal beneath.

Silver looks out of the removed front window, wondering if somepony managed to get out of the train that way.

It goes down the tracks, to where the track goes north and splits off east. Maybe he can see vomit further down, hard to tell. There are no visible corpses, at least from this perspective.

It's not going to be pretty, if he runs over any of the corpses. He calls out to see if Spec is nearby.

He looks at Silver, and blinks.

Silver blinks as well.
"Uh...alright."
The unicorn looks at the pedal and the stick, wondering how they work. He first tries the stick to see what it controls.

"Okay, I think I get it..."
Silver tries to just edge it backwards inside the terminal.
"Did you see way for incoming train to switch tracks? It may be safer for us to move this train to next station."

Silver thinks he sees two corpses on the side of the rail line, possibly to be hit by the edge of a train, but certainly not going under the wheels.

Phew. That's good at least. Silver lets go of the pedal and pushes forwards on the lever, hoping that this will engage the train's brakes. He also looks to Spec.
"Are you good to fly? If you are, follow train tracks behind us to find where two lines split, there should be switching station nearby. I hope..."

"Right..."
Silver allows himself to think, for just a moment.
"There is train coming and we do not have much time to spare. Go ahead and get off train, drive to next station in line in your car. I will take this train along tracks to next station, and we will meet back up there. Does that sound like good plan?"

Silver turns the flashlight off.
"I do apologise, but you know what danger replacement can pose."
Silver gets on the radio.
"Anypony know how to switch train tracks so two trains can sit side-by-side on parallel tracks?"

"The track isn't clear?! Take the train to a passing loop. Make sure it's parked entirely within the loop. The track switching should be automatic."

Silver keeps going forward.
"It is amazing when you think on it. This train is powered entirely on electricity, it does not use coal and steam like old trains."

Spectral Streak, however, is more anxious.
"Keep going. Faster!"
The train does pass a split, where the rail goes off eastward and north. The train continues moving north.

it isn't that long before Silver believes he is nearing the next station.

Up ahead, Silver sees another covered train station. As before, the track splits along the length of the train station into two tracks, one which is adjacent to a platform (again on the right) and another beside the right track on the left. There are some ponies waiting at the station. Not a crowd, but some.
“Here” Spectral Streak says

Silver remembers what White Orchid said to him once. The electrified trains will sometimes have radio connected switches in their cabs.

Oh, there we go. It’s on the right side on a panel beneath some other instruments. Switch it to the right.

Either it was supposed to go on the other track and Silver switched it, or it remained on the same track and was not switched. Hard to tell.

“I don’t… I think the other train needs to go into the other track.”
Silver can either glide through the station, or go to another one.

Silver moves ahead along open track. He can see to either side that new style of apartment building, three or four stories high, but also some stores, old apartment buildings, and a school. Silver sees a track that splits off to the left.

Watching the train chug along, Silver has to shake his head occasionally to keep focus. He's having trouble staying alert with as much blood as he'd lost from getting shot.
"I hope we find medic soon. There are medics in Homeguard, yes?"

“Some should have experience as medics. But the city has EMTs.”
For all of Silver’s internal problems, the world outside flies by at forty miles an hour. Silver sees office buildings with shops on the first floor, buildings largely from before the turn of the century. Silver knows that he is heading west, and now is in east side. The track, so long elevated above ground, now moves down into a dimly lit tunnel. Silver sees that here too, it splits, going straight, but with a section going left shortly after entering the underground.

Silver keeps the train going left, so as to loop around and eventually return to Jasmine Flower Station.

Silver moves into a tunnel with I-beam steel ribs separating it from the other track, and beige bricks walling against the ground, with a light placed every 50 feet or so. The track is parallel to the other, before slightly turning further left. Silver does not go very far at all before seeing in the train's forward lights, a wooden buffer, the rail suddenly ending, and a beige brick wall marking the end of the tunnel.

The train jolts, and Silver hears the sound of metal grinding as the train quickly comes to a stop a few feet before the buffer. Spectral Streak almost falls forward into the front window, before catching himself with a hoof

"Селестия, черт возьми! Почему маршрут закрыт?"
Silver outbursts in Cyrillic once the train stops, before turning to his son.
"Are you okay?"

With the lever pulled back, Silver presses down on the pedal to get the train moving in reverse.
"We will try other route where track splits."

Silver begins to do just that.

Silver starts moving the train backwards. He is unable to see behind him, only move the train backwards. The train moves out of the tunnel, back on the track going up (at reduced speed). Spectral Streak calls on the radio.
"We moved the train"
"The whole train?"
"Something like that. Line should be clear."
"Yeah, it seems they have already moved up to Poppy Field. Where were you?"
"We turned west to some dead end tunnel. We passed one station."
"You must have just barely been ahead of them. Give them a minute, of they stop at the next station to pass."

Silver hears this and brakes the train, hopefully more smoothly than last time. He calls to Spec.
"Am I on intersection or are we safe?"

As Silver moves back further, he notices that the rear cars of the train are turning north, the opposite direction from which they came. There must be another set of track that allows for mergers north.
