The Abandoned Train Station

There is a chance that while on a railway journey
across country you will pass a darkened station, the
platform will look as if it has been deserted for years.
The train will have to slow down due to the condition
of the tracks but it will not stop. There are some
conductors who will go much faster than they should
just to get past the station causing the train to feel
as if it will shake apart.
If you ask one of the personnel on the train about the
station they will tell you not to worry about it and to
go back to your seat. If you ask a second time you
and all your things will be unceremoniously dumped
at the next station whether it is your destination or
not. There you can wait for as much as a day for
another train to come by.
There have been a few curious folks who have made
the five mile long walk down along side the tracks to
see this abandoned station for themselves. No one
knows what happens when they get there. Some are
never seen or heard from again and others jump onto
the tracks in the path of the next oncoming train.
The only thing of any interest ever to happen along
those tracks was back in the early 1900's when a train
headed west derailed near that abandoned station
killing sixty one people on board and injuring others.
The incident was blamed on Conductor error and on
the fact the rails were misaligned due to shifting of
the ground after a heavy rain storm.
There is no known connection between the derailment
over one hundred years ago and the events that
surround the area today.
