    it is about a signalman who sees a spectre when supposedly something bad is going to happen:

    1. spectre seen=girl dies after falling from the train

    2. spectre seen again=train derails in the tunnel and causes a fire and people die

    3. spectre seen=the signalman actually gets run over by the train because he goes up close to the spectre and therefore steps into the trains path.

    Source(s): from reading it in year 8 and doing a little bit of work (in yr 9 now)
