I was a bit a chilled with shock but not with fear. but indeed this was perhaps the best creepy story that I've heard in a long time. near the end though after the singalman told Stepney about it I ended up showing emotion and how sorry for those poor miners that were trapped and ended up dying.

Damn, what else can I say but.. Damn. This is a pretty heavy story. Not just for the fact of it being primarily a horror story, but it involves the souls of many trapped miners, forever stuck in a hell they’d never be freed from. A hell that is all too real for those unfortunate enough to die in mines. The darkness, the ambience, the crumbling of the mine, and those screams.. By god, those screams.. It’d be something I’d never be able to stomach. Poor Stepney had to deal with the sounds of these workers, including their slow, excruciating deaths either from no air or worse; their lives being squished out by the crumbled shaft roofs.

Let me reiterate what I said if I was trapped in a dark mine with little to no escape. Along with others, I would frantically shout and yell at the top of my lungs Shouting ‘SOMEONE SAVE US! HELP US! ANYONE! SAVE US! WE ARE DYING DOWN HERE!!” If I somehow escape, I would refuse to go back as the terrified screams of my fellow miners would become so unbearable in fact so unbearable their screams would to ring in my head and hears to the day I die.

I know I'm nearly a year late, but I got to say that I adore both Horrors Of The Rails 1 and 2, the stories are all well written and read, the music really adds to the atmosphere, and the lack of jump-scares is a major plus. I always thought jump-scares were a cheap way of getting a reaction from viewers in any kind of media, so stories that can come off as scary, creepy, dreadful, or disturbing without the inclusion of that overused trope is a collection of stories that gain massive amounts of respect from me. I don't know if Narrow Gauge has any plans for a Horrors Of The Rails 3, but if a third one is made, you can guarantee that I'll listen to every single story as soon as I can!

My teacher was telling us about the bad mine conditions in the 1800s and then like 2 days later you upload this. I could call this video the following : chilling, sad, dark, different, memorable, and realistic. It’s new to see a horror story related to Stepney. Hearing the story of the mine is sad as they suffocated in isolation and being buried and gives a dark yet realistic take on the beginning of industry. It’s very memorable as the disembodied voices haunt you as well as the reality of one of those unlucky miners being one of your ancestors. Horror of the rails 2 has been quite a journey. We’ve had a deep story of Morga Liath, the tragedy of Smudger, and then Stepney experience with buried miners. This year has been better than last year. The highlight of last year was Rusty and the boulder and then this year Something in the mines. A But the ambient music and the mineshaft in the credits is absolutely terrifying. Especially after imagining the miners being buried in them. You’re a very talented writer as is clear with what you’ve written this year, last year, IFR series, and everything else you’ve done. I can’t wait for next year! Maybe even a few random audio stories throughout the year?

Ohhhh man I have a lot to say about this masterpiece. The screaming from the ghost workers in the mine used to horrify me as a kid. Me imagining my favroute charater (Stepney) being in such a horrible situation made me both feel sad but also morbidly intrigued. I loved this story so much that I made the mine from the story into a Roblox game I made in studio witch sadly has been lost to time since I must’ve accidentally deleted it when I was cleaning my storage.the music in this story made my blood run as cold as ice when I was younger, but I dident care it was good music and a even better story with semi realism. The backstory of the mine near the end genuinely gave me chills due to how depressing and horrifying it was and the fate of those poor miners. Ever since I saw the picture of stepney in the single row shed form the music video “boo boo Choo Choo” I had been confused and wondering if it was canon. Now that we have a full on fucking story about it I consider it and this story canon. Finaly, the vocie acting of the miners gave me chills and still does since of how really panicked and scared they sound. Over all a good story 👍

Imagine, if you will, a small Box Tank Engine, of the likes of Niel. He has no name and is simply known as The Mining Engine. He worked those mines and has borne witness to some of the most catastrophic cave-ins of the mines. Those screams simultaneously drives his PTSD, brings a shiver to his frames, and brings upon him much sadness and pain. He feels the same suffering those lost miners feel. He is abandoned, in a siding, hidden amongst the rusting wagons and other leftovers that we're abandoned when the mine was closed. Lastly, in the part where it is stated, "Stepney felt like Crying," let me tell you, the Old Mining Engine, he was crying, crying at the sight of Stepney having to go through this Hell that he has suffered for so long. Though the mining engine is old, and all rusted, he still has very good eyesight, even in the thickest of fog, he can see just fine. He still wears goggles from the days he puffed throughout the labyrinths of mining tunnels. Hopefully, the Old Mining Engine was found when the line was being ripped up. The old engine calling out in a raspy groggy voice. The workers found him, and brough him to people to be restored to full working order.
