The Signalman was written in 1866 and published in Mugby Junction, the Christmas number of All the Year Round. Dickens always had at least one special story for Christmas, most of them supernatural like The Signalman and A Christmas Carol.


Charles Dickens himself had a narrow escape from a train crash accident while coming back from France. Some of the carriages of the train he was travelling came off the track. Ten passengers were killed. Luckily, Dickens was sitting in the front carriages which didn't overturn. Perhaps, his own awful accident inspired him to write this mysterious novel.
