Rails & Ties (2007)

Train enthusiast Tom Stark's once comforting rail job ceases to provide solace as his wife Megan's battle with terminal cancer looms darkly over their lives. The darkness deepens when a despairing Laura Danner, leaves her car on the tracks, meeting her end with the arrival of Tom's train. This tragic incident sends ripples through their small community; it prompts Otis, Tom's colleague haunted by a similar past incident, to hang up his conductor's hat, while Tom himself is suspended. Meanwhile, Laura's bereaved son Davey, already fatherless, is now rendered homeless. Fleeing from the clutches of his monstrous foster mother, he seeks refuge in the only place he knows - Tom's house. Tom's wife Megan, on the verge of leaving to spare Tom the agony of her final days, strikes a deal - she'll stay if they shelter Davey. This unexpected proposition leads to a unique bond blossoming between the grieving boy and the childless couple. However, their newfound happiness is threatened by a persistent social worker hot on Davey's trail. Rails & Ties weaves a heartrending tale of loss, love, and the power of unexpected connections, pulling the viewer into a world where hope is found in the most unlikely places.
