Plot[]

The crew of diesel locomotive M62 receives the task to drive out the team from the "cold" (with the engine off) the locomotive M62, the platform and the passenger car. On this day the driver Fyodor Ivanovich Morgunov does not feel very well. While waiting for the departure of the train, the driver sends an assistant to mark the route sheet. After that, from a sudden heart attack, the driver loses consciousness, and, falling, grabs at the helm of the driver's controller, transferring it to the upright position. The locomotive with the train spontaneously comes into motion and gathers speed, uncontrollable. The device of vigilance can not stop the locomotive, because due to a malfunction the driver, in accordance with the order of the dispatcher, disconnected this device.

To avoid collision, the dispatcher first decides to start the trip into a trapping deadlock and at the same time take measures against fire and explosion. But when it becomes clear that on the train, people, the dispatcher decides to provide a pass-through ("green street"). After the rink one section of the locomotive 2TE10L is started up.

A student of the railway vocational school Aleksei Nechaev was let into the car by this train driver, and Vlad, Galya and Marina go as stowaways. The guys suspect something is wrong, only when the train at full speed sweeps past the station they needed Belyaevka and a red traffic light. The attempt to brake the trip with a stop-cock was unsuccessful, since the brake line was disconnected. Alexei, after counting that the driver needs help, decides to get to the driver's cabin, passing through the convoy on the run-first along the cargo platform, and then, having got into the cabin of the "cold" diesel locomotive through the window, gets out through the hatch to the roof and through it gets to the leader locomotive. Having got into the "cold" diesel locomotive, the guys notice the diesel locomotive next to them to help, but Alexei still intends to go into the driver's cab, while Vlad insists on waiting for the diesel locomotive. Because of this, the guys quarrel and fight, as a result, Alexei goes further and, albeit with a risk, gets inside the leading diesel locomotive. Seeing this, Vlad, who was on the trail, remains on the roof of the "cold" diesel locomotive.

However, at the crossing, the locomotive 2TE10L collides with the trailer of the ZIL-130 truck, whose driver decided to "slip" around the closed road barriers along a section of the road on which there is no road deck, and the trailer was stuck between the rails. As a result of the collision, despite the fact that for solemn braking, the driver gets injured, and the locomotive is damaged. The attempt to catch up with the train fails.

Meanwhile, on the leading locomotive there is a fire in the diesel compartment. Alexei tries to cope with the flames on his own, but he can not go into the cabin to Feodor Ivanovich, because the door handle is hot. Simultaneously, rescuers land on a hot diesel locomotive with a helicopter, and all those who were on the train remain alive.

The film reveals the theme of interpersonal relationships and strategies in complex, sometimes deadly situations.
