"Mugby Junction" by Charles Dickens is a collection of short stories written in 1866. A retired gentleman explores railway lines branching from Mugby Junction, encountering mysterious tales along the way. The collection includes "The Signal-Man," a haunting ghost story about a railway worker plagued by spectral warnings that precede tragic accidents. Each phantom appearance foretells disaster—from train collisions to unexpected deaths. Through these interconnected stories, Dickens and his collaborators weave a web of railway mysteries and human encounters.
