climbed onto the train. The driver and the coal man jumped into the snow and started to run to the
last wagon of the train. The person who is there ( guardafrenos ), called the police when he saw
the situation. The police come fast, and started to look for the monster. The police found him, it
was Gollum, and it was in the ceiling of the locomotive`s cabin. One of the policemen pushed
Gollum to the snow and the train start to move. A few moments later, Gollum started to move the
