Plot

Henry is working late, and Edward tells him the story of a ghost who appears at full moon. Henry scoffs at the story and sets off with his goods train, but has to slow at an amber signal, and after seeing a light flickering at a station and a coat discarded on a tree branch, Henry's crew decide to turn back. The next day, they are shocked to discover that a nearby bridge was unsafe and would have collapsed if they'd tried to cross. They try to deliver the goods again that night, but as the trucks see a flickering light they become scared and surge forwards, plunging into a ravine. A few minutes later, Old Bailey the fogman arrives on a handcart and reprimands them for not heeding his warnings. Henry and his crew are sorry, and to thank him for saving them they reopen his station.
