I'll never forget discovering this on late-night AM radio as a child. CBSRMT, Quiet Please, X-1, Dimension X, The Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, One Step Beyond & similar radio & TV series + the stories on which they were based & the myriad of media they inspired makes for engaging entertainment. Thanks for posting, ChillySunshine!
@@starmnsixty1209 I left out several great shows and Dimension X, sister-show to X-1, was omitted but absolutely deserves recognition so I'll add it to my post.
As an 11 and 12 yr old I had a small transistor radio with an earpiece that I would use to listen to the mystery theater each evening after bedtime, 10PM to 11PM. Then I would be too scared sometimes to sleep. Lol, good memories.

@Sutton Felix i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Sutton Felix WTF IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I just hacked my IG account within about 30 mins by using the site. I had to pay 15$ but for sure worth the money :) Thank you so much you really help me out !
Absolutely by far one of my most favorite episodes in this series. The atmospheric isolation and the snow against the Train. The train getting stuck with all those strangers together. Just too wonderful to believe. Phenomenal script writing
Which role did he voice-act in this episode - Mr. Thorpe, the man w/the suitcase, yes? I do recall Rose starred in many other other episodes & of course he was a radio broadcasting legend not to mention the voice of Juan Valdez in those coffee commercials lol.
Forgot to mention in my prior post: E.G. Marshall! I still recall the first time I caught CBSRMT on late-night AM radio & heard his iconic voice which like Rod Serling's, TOL's The Control Voice, The Cryptkeeper et al I will forever associate with the best in sci-fi/horror/the supernatural, etc. Thanks again for posting!
kev mac thank you i first discovered these programs back in the 80's i've been hooked ever since i was 23 yrs old i agree the younger generations are truly missing out!!!! there lose......
It's not just the younger (yours or younger) that are missing out. I'm twice your age and grew up with these and I knew no one else who cared about them or particularly understood why I did. It's nice to come across other "night listeners" who were out there listening to these broadcasts in the dark of their own bedrooms. It's wonderful to see there are folks like yourself who are discovering and enjoying them today. I think that in their entirety they are a national treasure.
I agree with inky guy... Some folks are just not as inclined to use their imagination as others... I've always loved listening .. And filling in everything else with my mind. It's like being there.. Some would rather watch tv ...some would rather go to a movie.. I'd rather read the book. . It's always better
@@krispeterson1021 Sorta like the classic horror films of the 30s 40s and 1950s, which used atmosphere and shadows rather than the in your face approach of later times.
Unfortunately, during the commercial break around 27:55, the sound quality changes and the remainder of the radio drama is difficult to understand. I tried on 2 different devices and had the same problem. With headphones, it was only slightly better, but certainly aggravating to listen to. It’s disappointing because this is such an interesting story, but because of the bad sound toward the end, I can’t recommend it.
And is it just me or is the music at the very end from "Somewhere" from West Side Story? In any event, thanks again for posting this and so many other episodes of this wonderful show that thrilled me as a child in the 70's and into the 80's. So great to be able to rediscover CBSRMT and hear all the episodes I missed. Thank you!
@@stevebergman6431 My comment was mostly tongue in cheek. I remember most of what you recalled here. The 70s & 80's were mostly scratch and sniff - the smell usually being cheese or pot. And speaking of the '70's, I was totally crestfallen when Sonny & Cher broke up in 1974. (I was 13.) Thanks for writing. I enjoyed reading your comments. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a happy and safe new year!😊
@@stevebergman6431 Oh, yes, Babs. I can see why she'd wipe thoughts of anything else from your mind. My best friend loves her as well. I like the more Gothic-tinged episodes of the series. Ya know dark stormy night, your car breaks down and at the nearest house - the only one around (how convenient!)-Boris Karloff's latest monster answers the door. "Of couuurseee you can use our phone! Come right in. We'd love to have you for dinner!"
@@stevebergman6431 I am a broadcast historian and have my own collection of 10,000+ shows, the earliest being from 1924, which makes selecting a few of my favorites from a particular series difficult. That 1924 program is a celebration of Navy Day and is the earliest known surviving broadcast in complete form. It runs about 90 minutes. You hear the actual voices of WWI-era military leaders such as Gen. "Black Jack" Pershing. It's a fascinating display of American Military might and what then considered newest technology. I also have about 60 minutes of NBC's coverage of Lindbergh's return from France, 6/11/27. NBC itself had been in operation about seven months at this point. Broadcast recordings in complete form prior to 1935 are very rare because most shows were either not recorded at all or the recordings are lost to time. I did a quick read through of an episode log of CBSRMT that I found online and didn't see a a listing for "Jane Eyre" but they did do a number of Edgar Allen Poe's stories, such as 'The Black Cat",and "The Horla". Head on over to The Internet Archive (that's all you need to enter in your browser) and you'll find thousands of not only vintage radio programs but vintage TV and movies as well. That's just a very brief description of the type of materials they have stored. AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FOR FREE, if you'd like. At least you can with the Audio-Visual holdings. I haven't tried to download any documents, but I don't see a problem in doing so. The site gives easy instructions on downloading. If you'd like to upload material for the archive, it will explain exactly how to do that too., easy-sneezy! You can easily burn to CD anything you have downloaded. I'll have to take a look at THE OLD, DARK HOUSE. It sounds like would enjoy it! Well, so long for now. Best, ADAM 😊
Why did you have to post your observation? I don't think the voice actress sounds THAT much like the cinematic Gollum, but now that you mention it, I do hear some basis for comparison, almost but not quite too much lol.
I love these radio dramas and was really enjoying this one, then the end came suddenly, 'too suddenly,' if one can say that. It was all wrapped up in a heartbeat. And I think the ending was not credible. Would love to hear how others felt.
And btw, great episode I'd not heard prior tho' I've experienced many stories in various media using the same mystery-train concept from TTZ to you name it. Great dialogue here, & some concepts I can sadly relate to. "I'm already dead", a sample from White Zombie's epic Real Solution # Nine. "I am punk", he says. Pure 70's/early 80's.
Why oh Why is it on some old radio stories I hear all and sundry 100% and better... but this one... the first two ladies are UN- UNDERSTANDABLE...????????
These radio mystery theatre stories should be put down as heritage, and will be well preserved for future generations
CANNOT BEAT OLD , NOSTALGIC RADIO MYSTERY theatre
One final point of interest and gratitude: thanks for including some of the commercials!

Norman Rose had such a great voice. So deep, resonant and distinctive. A perfect voice for radio.
He sounds so much like Fred Gwynne that I thought they made a mistake in the cast list. Fred Gwynne is in several of these. Quite a coincidence.

Marshall had a wonderful voice didn't he? Unmistakable. I believe The Control Voice
Was Vic Perrin, rest his soul.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater is my favorable radio station

This is my fav yet channel now!
Amazed these are from the 70s.
Good story..again with a message☺Thanks chilly..
You're welcome Stella.
Love that you keep the commercials! A slice of history
When you hear the door creak 🚪 you know you are in for a good time
This was a really good one!
Ah to bring us back to simpler times. Thank you @ChillySunshine for the escape.
Top notch!👍👍

@ChillySunshine, I did indeed notice what you did with the image at the very end of the audio track. Nice effect!
Very cool
I went back after reading your comment. Very cool! Thank you for sharing.

I haven't been listening for a while, thank you for reminding me
i love this one
When the TRAIN screeched to the ad halt @ 27m50sec, it screeched the audio to HELL & GONE...
Not worth the trouble thereafter...
Chilly sunrise, where do you find these pictures. ? Do u create them yourself?
CBSRMT ~ The Sound of Suspense!

Great story
"Somewhere There's a Place for Us" from "West Side Story" uncharacteristically ends the last act.
Towards the end the sound becomes muffled and hard to understand.
For me the 1st 2 ladies un -discernable

Does she ever! I thought it was just me.
lol now I can't unhear that....Darn it! My preciousssssssssssss

Yikes! Just wish the sound wasn't so bad though
Presto is still making deep fryers today. FryDaddy by Presto.
Funny how they are suggesting to buy one for mom, for Mother’s Day. Not too many moms I know that want appliances as a gift.
Premise sounds a bit like TIME EXPRESS (1979), a short-lived CBS television series starring Vincent Price.
