On the train, Passpartout listens to a course of Mormon history. The train encounters 2 problems. A herd of buffalo cover the track at some point, and they must wait for them to move. Once, they needed to cross a bridge that was weak and covered in ice, so they had to jump the gap.
Fogg and Proctor meet whilst Fogg was playing a card game. Proctor challenges Fogg to a duel.... The fight gets interrupted when Sioux indians attack the train.
