Dead Men’s Section of the C and J Railroad Haunts Middle Division
Henry Fortune, division superintendent at Folger, battles a curse called the Dead Men’s Section on the C and J Railroad.

A Chicago detective unit also falls victim as the mystery deepens and the villainous Ranger’s Rest owner seeks vengeance.
