Show Notes

It’s time once again for our annual holiday trip to the danger light by the rails!

As before, this story depicts a curious stranger who encounters a rail worker beset by visions. What tragedy do his visions portend? How will this version compare to those we have already heard? What will it take for you to be proud of your underwear? Listen for yourself and find out!
