The Night the Tracks Went Silent at Depot Crossing
from The Deep Quiet — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the autumn of 1998, the 2:17 freight train through Depot Crossing, Bakersville, stopped for the first time in eighty-three years. Luna was nine, living in the yellow house with the rail-side porch, and she woke to the absence of sound—a silence so complete it felt like the world had held its breath. Her father, a railroad man, said the train had simply vanished between mile posts 14 and 15, leaving a single red lantern swinging on a hook in the signal shack. What he found when he walked the line that night, and what he brought home in his jacket pocket, is something Luna has never been able to forget—or explain. A story about silence as a presence, about the things that stop without warning, and about the small, impossible objects that sometimes remain behind. #DepotCrossing #Bakersville #TheNightTheTracksWentSilent #FreightTrain #MissingTrain #Lantern #Railroad #Silence #1998 #Autumn #SignalShack #MilePost14 #RedLantern #LunaStory #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #DeepQuiet #SoloNarration Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
