changatrain to hell??
I remember a short story about a train bound for hell, with satan as the engineer.
The hero makes a deal with satan, that he might choose a moment in time and live it forever, but his soul belongs to satan. Satan gives him his watch, to seal the deal.
I'm almost certain this was a Bradbury story, but I can't remember the name right now. Can anyone help me out?

dandelionYou're referring to "That Hell-Bound Train," by Robert Bloch (not a message board hijacked by trolls.)

Nard KordellOleManiaC:
Don't know 'cause I never read Bloch's story. But then, maybe it's something like...
The Road to Perdition
...similiar destination.

dandelionIt was going in the opposite direction of "This Train" and "The Happyland Express." Only difference is, the particular train in the story never reached its destination.

DanBI think this is also a Chuck Berry song.
Just a random thought.
