In the distant future, Silver is partaking in a war to liberate West Equestria. In a far off land, Amber is running for freedom.

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.

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.

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

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 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.
