Extrait: ...Devant moi, je voyais les rails luire sous le reflet de la lune. Nous filions! Nous filions!... Ah! je la retrouvais cette sensation de vitesse que l'habitude vous fait oublier! Le train passa comme un eclair dans une petite gare. Si vertigineuse que fut sa course, j'eus cependant le temps de distinguer dans un bureau, sur le quai, un employe qui sommeillait pres de l'appareil telegraphique. Une ou deux trepidations sur la plaque tournante; le claquement des disques; la voie rayee par les rails entrecroises, soudain plus large puis plus retrecie... la tranchee profonde, et, de nouveau, la course dans la nuit... Apres, ce fut le tunnel ou nous nous engoufframes dans un galop d'ouragan... Encore une fois la route libre. Maintenant, car je savais ou nous etions, je songeais: -Cette fois, nous deraillons. Dans deux minutes, nous arrivons a une courbe si accentuee qu'a l'allure ou je roule, nos roues vont chasser hors du rail... Le bon Dieu, sans doute, ne voulait pas que ce fut la encore. La machine, tout le train pencha... les rails grincerent sous les roues affolees... et nous passames!... Cette rampe avait ete ma grande terreur. Je respirai. Les feux n'etant plus alimentes allaient s'eteindre... La machine s'arreterait... Le garde-freins accourrait en tete du train... Je lui dirais ce qui avait eu lieu... Il poserait des petards a l'avant et a l'arriere... Nous etions sauves!... Mais mon calme ne dura pas longtemps! Nous venions de bruler une gare, quand je vis une chose qui fit se dresser mes cheveux: le disque etait ferme. La voie sur laquelle je m'engageais n'etait pas libre... Des cet instant, comment je ne suis pas devenu fou, je ne sais pas. Imaginez ce qui peut se passer dans le cerveau d'un homme qui, lance sur une locomotive a plus de cent a l'heure, est averti qu'un obstacle lui barre la route!... Rien n'existait plus en moi que cette pensee: -Si tu n'arretes pas, tu vas aller t'ecraser...
