This article is based on an essay “The Lantern Bearers’” by Stevenson in which the author of this article finds it to be dull, incompetent, lifeless, and dreary. The railway station seems to be at the forefront of this particular discussion as it is the most unpopular place in the world. A place that has been singled out, a poor place, lonely and forlorn, cursed by many and loved by few. In the same token the article talks about how if he were in a Railway Junction then he would have time to allow his mind to flourish and fill with memories of past romance, anguish, or whatever seems to enter the mind. The article makes a reference to prove the point of lifeless railway stations, it is one that is in northern Vermont, near Burlington. It is called Essex Junction consisting of a dismal shed of a station, bewildering stretch of tracks and a cemetery across from the shed. According to legends the cemetery is filled with people that died of old age waiting for the train to come. This is an interesting article that is a mix of theories, tales and opinions that have one common thread; a railway junction.
