Refuel at the fuel point
Only if the train is slow or low on fuel.
Low fuel caps your speed: 120 km/h at 50% to 79% fuel, and 50 km/h at 10% to 49% fuel. Slow to about 8 MPH for fuel. Stop at the fuel point and hold Space when Hold Space Bar to refuel appears.

Go back to the train in time
Only if you left the train.
Leaving the train starts a return countdown on screen. Go back before it ends. If it runs out, the game can say: You abandoned your train and failed the mission.

After a derail, start again
Only if the train derailed.
If you go over the speed limit or lose control and derail, the mission fails and you start again from the loading point.
