this railway has a dark secret
a long time ago their was a railway under the name of the royal railway as it was built in 1899 in the southern reign of England and it was opened by queen Victoria herself in 1901 the line served two villages and only three engines worked on the line a d40 Victoria a b12 Alfred and a j50 Neil.

the line had was open from 1901-1921 it was known as the happiest line until 1920 when the d40 Victoria was taking a train of passengers along the line the run was going well until the driver realist that something was wrong the engine started to go faster even thought the driver panicked and tried to apply the brakes and shut off steam nothing worked then after five minutes of high speed the driver saw the line had bent out of place and then their was nothing he could do the fireman jumped from the cab but the driver tried one more time to save the passengers but he unfortunately failed and the train derailed and rolled towards a cliff and the engine and the first coach went over the edge and plunged the in cold and unforgiving sea the driver and the passengers were killed by the waves and currents of the sea.

after the engine and the coach was salvaged from the water only a few passengers body's were found in the coach the rest were in the sea along with the driver of Victoria the engine and the coach were cut up for scrap and the family's were paid composition for the lose of their family and friends the line still ran for a few months but the line was nearly broke and was forced to close down and the two other engines were sold to the railway board but the story does not end their after a few years had passed and the lner had been founded and bought the line and started to restore it but on the same day as the accident men were working on the line and started to hear a puffing sound coming from down the line from were they were working they looked but saw no engine coming then a freezing gush of wind flew past them blowing their tools into the ocean as the men looked over the side they saw the horrific site of the engine and coach that had fallen years before they ran back the station and said they were never going to work on that line again
the men went to tell their family and friends but no one believed them.

but it would be many years before the secret of how the accident happened would be found the year was 1990 70 years since the fatal accident a private detective under the name of jack feeney was in his office in London at 10am an old gentlemen in a grey trench coat and fedora entered "my name is billy" the old man said "and I want to hire you to solve this old case for me".

jack looked at the old man and said "what is so important about this old case" asked jack confused billy looked at jack with tears in his eyes and showed him a picture of him and a girl "her name was jean I lost her 70 years ago" and he started to cry jack looked at the picture and said "what do you want me find out" asked jack to billy he looked up and cleared the tears from his eyes billy said "I want you to find the man cost my dear her life" said billy "ok I will try to find out what I can" said jack and billy gave the address of the old railway were jack could start investigating.

jack arrived at the old railway he started to look around the old abandon yard but something was off the yard looked like it had been maintained to look like new and so did the old station as jack started to walk out of the yard he heard a voice say "don't go I need your help" but the voice sounded demonic so jack ran out of the yard and up the hill he heard nothing else so carried on as he went up the line to the accident site he started to hear a puffing sound coming up the line he looked back and saw nothing but as soon as he turn he saw a ghostly figure of the engine that had crashed and he felt a pain growing inside of him but then he felt nothing he saw himself in the cab of the engine and he heard the voice again say welcome to your new life driver and a demonic laugh was heard along the line and jack was never seen again.
