The light off BB Highway

Missouri · United States · Road

He had been walking a long way looking for his light. He got tired and lay down on the track.

Just off BB Highway at East Prairie, Missouri there is a place where the old railway line ran.

The story is from the 1930s. A man had been walking a long way looking for his lantern. Eventually he was too tired to go on, and he lay down on the track and fell asleep.

A train came, and what happened before the driver could do anything is why the light is seen there now.

A man walking a railway line at night with no lamp, in rural Missouri in the Depression, is an entirely ordinary thing. The tracks were the straightest and driest route between places, people walked them constantly, and they were killed on them constantly.

The light people report is understood to be him, still looking.

The old line is gone and the site is beside a public road.
