The Locomotive: Buried alive underneath a derailed train

A broker wakes up trapped underneath the rubble of a train. It derailed on a dam connecting an island with the mainland. The mud he is lying on is the bottom of the ocean and the high-tide is coming ... they are buried alive. The novel was turned into the feature movie "Derailed" in Canada in 2017.
