## The Runaway Train By John Brown During my summer holiday, my friend James and I were travelling across the USA. One day we decided to take a journey on a steam train. Little did we know that we were in for a terrifying experience. We had been enjoying a smooth ride when suddenly the ground started shaking. It was an earthquake. The train started to make strange noises as it made its way slowly down a hill. There was a loud screeching noise and then, the train started rocking. People's bags were falling out from the overhead compartments. People started screaming frantically. As we all held onto our seats, the train started rocking dangerously from side to side and speeding up. A man got out of his seat and ran quickly to the front of the train. A few moments later, the train slowed down. Soon after that, we pulled into the next station and we all got up anxiously to see what had happened. It seems the earthquake caused the driver to hit his head on the control panel and lose his senses. Luckily, the passenger had got there in time to slow down the train and save the day. We were relieved to hear that no one had been hurt and that the driver was well. **Put the events in the order they happened.**
