A note from the author:

Here we return to my North Carolina heritage.\xa0 The story of the light at Maco Station has been told many times in the last century and a half.\xa0 I first discovered it in one of my grandmother's books of ghost stories, An Illustrated Guide to Ghosts and Mysterious Occurences in the Old North\xa0State, by Nancy and Bruce Roberts.\xa0 I love train stories, so it's always been one of my favorites, and Prometheus's rendition embroiders on it, adding some history and some melodrama along the way.\xa0
