Synopsis

The video opens with an outdoors shot of BLU's base. It is in the middle of the winter and BLU Sniper is shown almost completely buried in the snow. BLU Soldier passes by, placing a # 2 Sniper coffeemug next to Sniper, the smell managing to get Sniper to move a little.

Inside, the BLU are putting the final touches on the train in their base. Soldier and BLU Engineer is going over the plans one final time. Meanwhile BLU Heavy writing a taunting message on one of the train carts and BLU Pyro having drawn a cartoonish scene on the following cart. BLU Soldier does not think that Pyro's contribution is appropriate and chooses to remove the cargo box with the painting from the cart. Pyro puts it back onto the train when Soldier isn't looking.

They eventually launch the train. BLU Demoman setting the controls in the locomotive and blowing them up with some dynamite afterwards.

RED Sniper soon spots the train and sends word to the rest of his team.

RED Sniper and RED Scout chooses to intercept the train using Sniper's van to race along with the train. Scout eventually makes it onto the train, while Sniper ends up at the edge of a tall cliff in his van. A cart on the train ends up detached from the rest of the train as they board it.

RED Spy delivers the message of the train to RED Engineer.

RED Heavy and RED Medic are playing chess. Heavy is not understanding the rules, to Medic's frustration.

The RED team takes a look at their base for where the train would hit. For some unexplained reason, the spot it would hit happens to be a wall of explosive barrels. RED base is shown to be located next to an orphanage, a cat something and a cat orphanage.

RED Scout investigates the carts on the train, first ending up checking the box that BLU Pyro painted. It's filled with rubber ducks. The next cart is shown having a bomb. Scout attempts to disarm the bomb, upon noticing a keyhole. For some innate reason, there is a welcome mat in front of the bomb. Scout checks underneath it and sure enough, the key to the bomb is there. Scout inserts the key into the bomb and after an excessive amount of doors opening on the bomb, is presented with two buttons and a prompt "Disarm bomb?". The two buttons are both labeled YES, one green and one red. Scout presses the green one and successfully disarms the bomb. The camera pans out to reveal a whole pile of bombs in the back of the cargo box.

RED Heavy elects to block the train himself. RED Medic is very concerned about this and runs after him, managing to Über him just in time. The cart hits Heavy and he is pushed backwards as the train derails, carts flying into the sky and landing all over the place, one even striking RED's base. However, none hit the inconveniently placed wall of explosive barrels.

When the coast seems to be clear, the detached cart comes rolling down the track. It is shown that it is filled with anvils. Thusly, the cart has no problem plowing through all the debre from the initial crash. It just barely stops before hitting the wall of barrels and a cat.
