Two stories, both connected with railways.
One concerns a busy railway junction in wartime where the dispatchers have to balance efficiency against secrecy, in moving supplies and soldiers to the front lines, and refugees away from them, as well as salvaging goods damaged in bombing raids. Lots of goods get stolen or damaged in transit, and sometimes people do too.
The second story is after the war, when a village teacher lodges with a widow, and gradually learns about her life and realises only after her death what a genuinely good person she was.
