...the night was chill and dark, mist and fog had covered the entire surroundings, the last train had left the station, leaving behind the crowded township passing through vast open space, the driver pulled on his gloves and glanced out of the windshield, the flashlight on the forehead of the engine was casting a stream of light showing the way cutting through the thick layers of fog,he felt going through a tunnel of light
The speed of the train was gradually increasing, within minutes they were to cross the outskirts of the township, he was still looking out and was startled, he saw a body laid up on the track at the end of the light , frightened he began blowing the whistle, he pulled the throttle back and pressed the full brakes, the train was ten bogies long impossible to stop instantly
