It’s quite possibly my favorite episode. James Daly’s performance was Emmy-caliber. One thing I would have done differently is the manner of his death. I think he should have simply died of a heart attack or a stroke in his seat. He is under so much stress, his death is expected. The earlier brief visits to Willoughby could be seen as little mini heart attacks or strokes from which he comes back, until he has the fatal one at the end. Ah well, still a great episode. I have them all on Blu-ray now.
This episode had an eerie tone about it, especially the final credits with the interior of the railroad coach as backdrop.
With that clerestory down the middle it looked like the inside of a casket in shape. Spooky!
My favorite is “A Piano In The House”.
