Varnish on the Signal – by John Paul Mills – p 37-41
‘Telegrapher, Kansas City Southern’

"If passengers on the Midwestern Central’s Number 306 noticed Bill Jasper at all, they saw only a small, pleasant-faced man who rode uneasily in his seat. He stared out at the broken landscape through the thickening dusk, listening to the familiar click of the wheels, and their tempo seemed to grow faster as they brought him nearer to the life he thought had ended some years ago."
