But the train will not stop, which will thwart your plans. However, Dutch does not want to give up, you will get back on the horses and start chasing the train.

Keep pushing forward and eliminate the soldiers who will stand in your way. If you want to earn the gold medal in this mission, you must maintain high accuracy while moving to the front of the train.
