dc.description.abstractAs perhaps the leading symbol of industrialization, railway constructions changed Victorian Britain in many different ways. Railways not only transformed British landscape geographically, but they also shaped the attitudes of the Victorians towards developing transportation technologies. While the Victorians appreciated and enjoyed railway transformation, they were also traumatized because of tragic railway disasters. Different facets of the issue of railway safety, including not only the safe travel of passengers but also safe working conditions of railway employees, were hot topics of discussion throughout the railway age. Being a railway accident survivor himself, Charles Dickens was well aware of the weight of the issue. In the form of a Christmas ghost story, his short piece “The Signalman” (1866) directs attention to railway environments, working conditions of railway employees and their influence on the occurrence of railway accidents. This article thus intends to explore “The Signalman” in relation to such discussions regarding the railway phenomenon in Victorian Britain. Also, it will examine how and why the story combines rational and supernatural narratives through the voices of two main figures: the title character and the narrator. © 2018 Karadeniz Technical University.
