Crime short stories set on trains
Hello I really love old trains. I wonder if you know any old short stories in the crime or suspense genre set on a train. I already know of Amelia B. Edwards' famous story and Conan Doyle's "The Lost Special". Can you help me find some others?
Post-crime, there's Hearts And Hands by O. Henry.
There's honestly no such thing as a stupid question -- but I'm afraid I can't rule out giving a stupid answer : : To Posterity and Beyond!
You could go to the catalog and search for some you know of that are available on librivox too: https://librivox.org/search?primary_key=0&search_category=author&search_page=1&search_form=get_results
I could try to find some too... just I don't know what you are looking for. Author?

They aren't crime stories, but they are train stories:

I know you said short stories, but here's a couple of suggestion if you ever feel like a longer listen:

Also, I can think of a ghost short story involving the railway.
"The Signal-Man", by Charles Dickens. It's #18 in this collection: https://librivox.org/short-ghost-and-horror-collection-035-by-various/
