96-501: A delirious man dying of the plague and burn him alive on a pyre as a half-serious black magic human sacrifice . The protagonist, Bernie, reflects upon this new world and reminisces about "the time before" when he went to Anson Beach in his youth, years before the plague. All the members of Bernie's group had survived a virus called A2, which supposedly made them immune to A6. But Needles reveals to Bernie that he has contracted A6. Bernie admits to himself that deep down they know that A2
120-415: A four-coupled, four axled, superheated express train locomotive with carrying bogie. Further details such as 'bus' ( "Omnibus" ) were spelt out in full. With the addition of phrases like 'with trailing axle ' ( "mit hinterer Laufachse" ) it was possible to distinguish whether a carrying wheelset was in front of or behind the coupled wheels . Following on were further descriptions in order to differentiate
144-477: A new classification scheme was introduced in 1903. This was based on the systems used in the Cologne West Rhine ( Coeln linksrheinisch ), Elberfeld und Magdeburg railway divisions. This changeover took place between 1905 and 1908 within the divisions. There were four main groups: An additional number represented the power delivered by the engine and together specified its group. The higher the number

192-642: A system was introduced similar to the steam engine classification scheme. It comprised the class designations: Multiple locomotives were designated with lower case letters. The railbuses were initially only given an operating number. From 1910 type letters were introduced. There were far more locomotives than available 4-digit numbers; consequently each division had its own list. Locomotives transferred between divisions would be renumbered. The 22 divisions were: The operating numbers were always given together with their originating railway division in order to avoid any possible confusion. The lists give an overview of

Bernie's girlfriend keeps up the pretense, accepting Bernie's explanation that Needles must have lied about having A2 so the others would not leave him behind. "Night Surf" was first published in the spring 1969 issue of Ubris magazine. A heavily revised version was published in the August 1974 issue of Cavalier magazine. In 1978 ,

List of Prussian locomotives and railbuses#Railbuses This list gives an overview of the locomotives and railcars that were in the Prussian state railways . Also included are the locomotives of the Grand Duchy of Hesse State Railways ( Grossherzoglich Hessischen Staatseisenbahnen ) and the Prussian-Hessian Railway Company ( Preussisch-Hessischen Eisenbahngemeinschaft ). Up to 1 April 1883
336-464: The Class designation "WSL" - W echselstrom- S chnellzug- L okomotive (AC express train locomotive) and "WGL" - W echselstrom- G üterzug- L okomotive (AC goods train locomotive) as well as operating numbers: from 10201 for the goods train engines and 10501 for the expresses. In addition the name of the railway division followed. Because the system was no longer adequate for the locomotives ordered from 1911

384-479: The Prussian state railways or acquired private railways designated their locomotives with names and/or numbers. From that date the following numbering scheme was introduced into all the railway divisions. This scheme applied to all state railway divisions and state-managed private railways. Locomotive numbering was organised according to the above system. However a locomotive could only be identified exactly by using
408-533: The different locomotives. So, for example, the name of the design company, or the name of the railway division that first procured the engine, or the fact that the locomotive was built to certain standards, were added. This classification system continued even after the introduction of the 1903 scheme. From 1910 the detail of the wheel arrangement as a fraction was replaced by a combination of figures for carrying axles and letters for coupled axles (see UIC classification ). The first locomotives built from 1908 were given
432-414: The divisional name and running number in combination. Because of the increasing numbers of locomotives being procured, the classification scheme and its range of numbers were no longer sufficient. However the numbering system was not immediately replaced. As a result, numbering chaos arose as individual divisions used spare numbers and unique designations for new locomotives. Due to the resulting confusion
456-473: The margins of this measure, individual locomotive types were redesignated into other groups. From 1914 the allocation of numbers began to be no longer consistent. This situation became worse after the end of the First World War as a result of the dissolution of the railway divisions as well as the disorganised way in which locomotives were entered into service. For technical and engineering purposes,
480-427: The more powerful the locomotive. Engines with a medium power rating were given the number 3. Saturated steam engines were given odd, and superheated steam locomotives even, numbers. The individual locomotive groups were given a specific range of numbers, that often differentiated between two-cylinder ( Zwillings -) and compound locomotives . Because the group criteria allowed a certain degree of freedom, and because
504-415: The myriad locomotives were often different, it was possible for the same type of locomotive to be placed in different groups in the different railway divisions. From 1910 the divisions within the groups were further refined using indices. And as older locomotives were mustered out the groups became largely uniform. As a result, from that time the group designation became simultaneously a class designation. In

552-530: The story was collected in King's first book of short stories, Night Shift . At eight pages long, it is one of King's shortest short stories. Writer-director Peter Sullivan adapted "Night Surf" as a short film, produced in 2002. Optioned from King for a dollar, the film is part of the Dollar Baby collection of similar short films.

576-497: The system introduced in 1883 was not practicable. In order to describe individual types of locomotive a second system was therefore brought in. This scheme was based on a leading fraction for the running gear ratio, capital letters to specify the primary role and type of steam used, and additional abbreviations for special features. There were no special abbreviations for wet steam engines, tender locomotives, two-cylinder engines and simple steam expansion. So 2/4 H. S. L. dr. meant
