I was worried about our friend the abbot here -Tweedle's dialogue sounds like a wonderful prelude to a monk stabbing him in the back and going for a klingon promotion- but then I remembered Tweedle's uncle is a bishop, so it looks like the knife stays relatively metaphorical.

Und as de Korbettites are... onruly... dere iz a goot chance de abbot vill not chust roll over even for a beeshop. Dey hef hef vorked vith de Vulfenbach for a number uf years now, und hes retained der kontrol over de railroads viddin de Empire for de duration. Hy dare guess dat de Empire hes been beneficial to der effort to keep der timetables. Besides de Barron schtrikes me as zumone vo alvays schtood by his vord, keepink every promise made und never gun back on his vord, vile de SCHturmvoraus family doesn' hef qvite de same track record...

This is where the "storytelling" makes things complex. If Tweedle's Uncle outranks the Abbott and therefore all Corbettites, why the attack? He could simply stop the trains and board them. But that's boring.
Why? Because the story has to have the Swartzwalders find Krosp. So, we do this by attacking the train. Plus Agatha has to find the Beast.
Dramatic tension is ahead as Tweedle's Uncle orders the Abbott to hand over Agatha. Of course, she gets away. She's the title character, but it's the Foglio's style of "Beyond the Impossible" that we have to wait out.
