On reaching the crossing, the gates were opened to allow him to pass. The attention of the gateman was fixed on the lights of a distant up goods train.
And he failed to notice the approach of a down express, until it was close at hand.

Mr. Mosley was just able to back his horse clear of the rails as the express crashed full speed through the gate.
