He was not the only casualty on that line as i said there was a tunnel, a long tunnel. One day the train pulled into Strood station and hanging out of a window a headless man. It is assumed he had his head out of the window for some reason and did not see the tunnel coming up. Suicide or stupidity, we will never know.
