During the winter of ’43, a locomotive engineer named Karl Abel— Ka for short—was assigned engine No. 54 on the Remsl line, a narrow-gauge spur that carried nothing but sealed freight cars and silence. One night, Karl uncoupled his own car from the train and rolled it into a frozen marsh rather than deliver its cargo. They say he carved his initials and engine number into the depot wall before walking into the white pine woods. Neither he nor the car was ever found. But the code remained: Ka 54 Remsl — a man choosing a single act over a lifetime of complicity.
