L37-2:TheWesthaven Express
Neither was Isurprised when the train stopped at Widley, a tiny station a few miles alongthe line. Even a mighty express train can be held up by signals. But when thetrain dawdled at station after station, I began to wonder, It suddenly dawnedon me that this express was not roaring down the line at ninety miles an hour,but barely chugging along at thirty. One hour and seventeen minutes passed andwe had not even covered half the distance. I asked a passenger if this was theWesthaven Express, but he had not even heard of it. I determined to lodge acomplaint as soon as we arrived. Two hours later, I was talking angrily to thestation master at Westhaven. When he denied the train's existence, I borrowedhis copy of the timetable. There was a note of triumph in my voice when I toldhim that it was there in black and white. Glancing at it briefly, he told me tolook again. A tiny asterisk conducted me to a footnote at the bottom of thepage. It said: “This service has been suspended.”
