OK here goes another one... this one not a story.. it be an urban legend. The railroad used to run a single track, from Dorion ( a town nerby) to Ottawa the nations capitol. it would go through Dorion,Vaudreuil, Hudson, Rigaud, Vankleek Hill, a few other stops, then to Ottawa.. eventually the sad reality kicked in and most of that track is gone. however.. i didn't go quietly.. it had its share of accidents. Yes the train tracks still pass through my town... (Hudson) but go as far as rigaud.. after that all there is is dirt, rocks, and not much else. where the tracks were is still highly visible. I gave jen a map.. i'll find the url later. anyways.. Hudson.. used to be three tracks the went through.. now theres only one.. and 2 trains a day. jsut after the station is a Turn, a very blind turn called "Blind-mans-curve" you can't see around it.. and when your comming out of the curve.. theres a signal (non operational) but was at the time this Story now goes back to the day of steam. Train 713, it stopped at hudson at 7:13. now the story varied here.. the signal was displaying bad asspect some say.. or the other version was that somehting was on the track but the signal was still green... some say the conductor was told that somehting was ahead of him and to take it slow but never delivered the message to the engineer. anyways.. one thing that remains a constant.. ONe of the train crew (guy A) new the upcomming signal was SUPPOSED to display red or green, but to be aware of upcomming danger... and was supposed to tell guy B.. but that never happened, he forogt.. mingled..had a heart attack.. those are the various stories.. So The train started up... gettting up to 60MPH going into the curve.. green signal hit the merging 3rd track into the second one.. derailed completely... Every last train car burned up, because back in those days they were made of wood, and there were very few survivors. . after blind mans curve.. there is another straight before leading into Dead-mans-curve.. a curve so sharp, today a train must whistle before proceeding into the curve... weather that actually happened.. no one will ever know. However for the last 90 years or 100 years, strange sightings have been seen.. people have claimed to: See the defunct signal display a green light See a man walk past them with a lantern in a conductors uniform.. somone claimed there scanner picked up an English guy saying "look out for the fallen tree ahead" also, could that have been what happened....? there are so many "weird" things that happen at this crash sight over the opast 90 years i cna't possibly start to tell you them all what about at 7:14 pm the railraod lights go crazy and then stop at 7:15? can anyone on here explain that? Note to all of you.. i don't believe in ghosts. But there is somehting about that site. Somehting that just doens't feel right. i get the shivers every time i walk up the line to the sight.. One time i myself was walking along the dark and saw what appeared to be a flah light swaying back and forth, i gave chase.. it could only be an old lantern the way it was bobbing back and forth... as i got closer the fog took over and the lantern dissapeared. it was at that point i knew somehting was up.. but i refuse to belive in Ghosts. Fog comes from the lake.. hudson is located on the lake of 2 mountains, fog often blows up on the tracks from the lake. some say the locomotive ended up in the lake.. anyone in hudson will tell you there is somehting spooky with that part of the track.. even the non-believers such as myself.. there is somehting there.. i'll leave it up to you to judge. They cancelled the 7:13 the night after it crashed and moved it up to the 8:26.. but stuff happens at 7:13.. it always will.. and by 7:13 i mean 19:23 for all you 24 hour people (7:13pm) Some say the conductor survived the accident and walked up the tracks to call for help.. some say he died on his way up.. some say he never survived at all.. but anyone who tells you he survived will tell you he held an oil lamp or lantern... weather he made it to the telegraph poles (alos since disspeared) we or i will never know.. i live 2 minutes from the tracks and about 7 minutes from blind mans curve... i ahve heard soem strang whistles.. some that are deffenately not a diesel horn... and i have seen a swaying light.. that much i have seen.. Believe it or not it is up to you.. i don't.. but i know somehting happened. thats Hudson's urban legend.. the 713. kev.
