Two rival companies vie to construct the intercontinental railway, facing sabotage attempts aimed at halting the vital supply of explosives needed to pierce mountain tunnels. Lucky Luke is tasked with guarding a crucial convoy, but this time it carries highly unstable nitroglycerin rather than conventional powder. Tensions escalate as saboteurs persist, while the Daltons mistakenly believe the train is laden with gold.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
Two companies are competing to build the intercontinental railway. When one sends saboteurs to intercept the powder needed to pierce tunnels through the mountains, the other calls upon Lucky Luke to protect a last chance convoy. The problem is, it's not powder that gets loaded onto the train this time - it's nitroglycerin! And as if that wasn't enough, the saboteurs are still around ...and the Daltons are convinced the train is full of gold!
