Tim Mulligan and the wild locomotive on the W. and W. line
Tim Mulligan, a stubborn railroad telegraph operator, loses his post after a midnight absence but saves a fleeing express by alerting colleagues. The runaway engine tears through yards and towns, killing its engineer and prompting Mulligan to be reassigned to Chicago. The tale ends with a wry parishioner recollection and a Boston Herald note.
