You settle into a quiet corner and let Bertram Voss guide you through the dimly lit world of railway signal boxes, where lonely night shifts blur the line between vigilance and something less certain. Walter Finch collects true accounts from men who spent decades watching tracks in darkness, learning unwritten rules like the porch light custom and developing rituals to steady their nerves during the long hours between trains.
