THE CONDUCTOR: "You cannot switch a train onto a track that is not there. You can only switch money."
THE TRANSITION LINE // EPISODE 6 // THE GHOST SIDING
Stop six. The far yard. A siding that appears on invoices and not on any map has been charging switching fees for a year.
PREVIOUSLY The Double Fare marked up thirty one seats by forty percent. Five entries, and the freight ledgers are open.
THE CASE Switchman Dorian Vask bills switching fees to siding 9, and the Line has never owned a siding 9. Rails do not hide. Ledgers do.
