When the train stops at Fal Vale Junction, Cornwall, these four get off to change trains, as do Herbert Stuart Latham and his fiance Edna Betty Jardine, spinster Miss Bourne Kathleen Harrison, and the tippling Dr. Sterling Morland Graham. However, the stationmaster, Saul Hodgkin Herbert Lomas tells them the last Trurobound train has gone, and that they cannot remain at the station, as he is locking up for the night. The passengers insist on staying, as it is raining heavily and the nearest village is four miles away.Hodgkin warns them the station is haunted. A branch line once crossed the river on a swing bridge close to the station. One night 43 years ago, then stationmaster Ted Holmes had a fatal heart attack while attempting to close the bridge, causing a train to plunge into the river. Ever since, a phantom train has been heard periodically on the abandoned track. It is said to kill anyone who looks upon it. ........
