Crossing the Line: Trespassing on Railway Weirdness by Paul Screeton (Paperback, 2006)

This is a book about railways such as has never been told before. Wonders and blunders, supernatural experiences, ritual customs, and a wealth of weird tales that sound as if they might be true. But surely they aren't. Or are they? A lifelong interest in both trains and folklore, a willingness to sit sharing a pint or three with fellow enthusiasts, plus the practised ear of a professional journalist - all these have given Paul Screeton the unique ability to collect and write about this wonderful web of weirdness and ever-evolving lore. Crossing the Line provides a wealth of tales to make even the delays on a train journey enjoyable. Then take an active role in keeping these tales alive by recounting the more perturbing ones to fellow passengers or unsuspecting 'gricers'...
