Synopsis

This plays shows a way station of the dead enroute to eternity that houses people whose bodies have never been found.

With Amelia Earhart, Judge Crater, Ambrose Bierce and Jimmy Hoffa are a young man whose car caromed down a mountain and a girl who jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge.

All have some hope for what is yet to come, even those who abandoned all hope entering here.

There are games and contests, some comic, some deadly serious, including the last one which determines why they fear facing their destinies in eternity.

Some do have the courage to make the leap onto the train, leaving behind a hard core group who are forever afraid and secretly hope.
