This is the sound of a mail train. One train is pulled by Sir Handel, and the other by Peter Sam, as the loads are too heavy for one engine to do the work alone. The mail is loaded into freight cars at the harbor and the engines pull their trains through the silent stations delivering their precious loads.

One night, Peter Sam was waiting at the junction. The main line train was late. At last, Bertram arrived. Betram: Sorry. (Narrator (George

The Road Past Dying By Michael T. Pizzolato John Paul adjusted his hat and ran his thumb underneath the brim. He had just been in the hoosegow last week for fighting with his old buddy Nathaniel after a drunken night, and he knew he had to stay out of Marshal Hickok ‘s way, so he had intended to grin and bear a few more lost hands then move on. The card dealer, who was pretty much a bunko artist, gingerly laid down his hand. John Paul muttered a barely audible curse, tossing his own hand of cards into the pile of cash on the table. Fed up with coppering his bets all night, he coaxed himself out of the bare, wooden chair. The dealer had been sneaking from the bottom all night, but he couldn’t do anything about it short of blasting off the scoundrel’s belt buckle from under the table.
