This will be only a short account<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because not much actually happened<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the July of 1959 my father and I were driving back <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From my aunt’s house in North Bedford<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As she had suffered an unlucky accident <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were on the Bedford Road <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which ran between Stoke and Bedford <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a straight stretch of road unlit at night <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our radio was tuned in to a jazz station <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And both our windows were open <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it was a warm night <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The illuminated clock in the car <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noted that it was past midnight <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was then I saw a train heading towards us<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Travelling across the pitch black fields <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It passed across the road about <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two hundred yards in front of us <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then disappeared towards the river on our right <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I expected my father to comment on this odd sight <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he carried on driving as if he had not seen a thing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I asked him about what I had seen <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He told me that I had been dreaming <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I assured him that I had been awake <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The whole thing disturbed me greatly <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I soon began to think that I had been dreaming <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As trains do not cross wheat fields and roads <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the nearest railway was over ten miles away in Bedford <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether I was dreaming or actually saw the train <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Has haunted me even since <\/p>\n\n\n\n
