This is the episode that always gets to me. It should be on every list of the greatest Twilight Zone episodes.

I have been trying to get to Willoughby my whole life. I think I'll make it there someday !!!!!

He had such a contented look on his face dead in the snow as if to say " I am in a better place now "

This is one of the most chilling twist endings of the series! That poor dude, I feel for him.

We all do at times. I think that was Serling's gift...to be able to tap into universal ideas and emotions and express them eloquently.

i live in willoughby ohio and there was a train depot here in the old days...

The best Twilight Zone episode ever. George Vreeland Hill

Working in corporate world this episode hits home..hard.

He sure as hell went to Willoghby if you notice the name of the funeral home ambulance that picks up the body . That's a nice twist , Serling likes to have fun along with the audience .

In these small towns many years ago the funeral home owned the ambulance company. Look it up.

best Twilight Zone episode ever.

The man was a genius Rod Serling Memorial Foundation..great site

My favorite as well. Love it so much we are naming our historic house Willoughby Illusions.

It's 6/29/21 and it was on tonight. One of my favorites!

I often tell "young" people (can be 50 years old by now LOL) that if they really want to understand where "hippie" mentality came from, to watch all the Twilight Zones and read Mad Magazine, cover to cover, from about 1955 to about 1960. There was so much anti-establishment, existentialism, and painful angst in both those media, it was an easy leap to reject the status quo in the late 60's. All that was needed were conditions, which were the Vietnam War, JFK/RFK/MLK, music, and of course, drugs.

Damn, everybody here in the episode is in Willoughby now.

To each his Dulcinea. And to each his Willoughby.

The problem had less to do with the capitalist rat race and more to do with trying to please his unreasonable wife. He had the solution, get a less stressful job and live a more modest life in a modest home. But his wife was unwilling to give up her "Keeping up with the Joneses" lifestyle. Today marriage counseling (Or even a divorce.) would have probably prevented him from going crazy and jumping off a moving train.

One of my favorite episode's☺

Yea i live there now and then.. I guess I'm just a snow bird in the relm of things where we twist and spin..There are pluses and minuses to both our lives.. But serenity will always thrive in my beloved twilight zone..

My favorite twilight zone episode.

This show gets to you right at the end.

I love this episode people actually lived like this to its seems peaceful rod sterling had a great mind

My favorite episode. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏾

This, AND "Walking Distance", 'ps'. Both dealt with executives facing pressure, job insecurity, and personal problems, literally escaping into the past. In "Walking Distance", though, "Martin Sloan" finally realizes he can't stay in his "boyhood", and returns to face the future. "Gart Williams", however, merely "hallucinates" about being in the past, and pays the ultimate price for joining it.

Willoughby looks exactly the same irl.. that guy still sits by the canon and waves to everyone.. he’s still there too

For some reason this is my favorite TZ ..i always watch for it when they do marathons.

My gramma is the woman sitting behind him on the train. Such a trip.

Well hes at peace now enjoying life with people wont push him

Very eerie episode. The ending was great. Nothing like watching the pros at work!

This episode I have been pushing on people in comments sections on videos ranging from pov train trips to patriot-centric to philosophy-based topics. Good episode! Other good ones: The Hunt, Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge, many more...

My favourite Twilight zone episode as well/also read the short story!

Im ready to go now.

“Where a man can live his life full measure!”

this was one of my favs episodes

love the twilight zone

My favorite 😻

One of my favourites.

Mr. Williams' face is the true face of death, as noted by other Twilight Zone episodes. Death in the Twilight Zone is the end of the torments of life.

One of my favorites.

One of my Favorites.

its amazing how the writers distort the minds of the viewers.amazing.

Wasnt the guy who played Gart, his son, the star of TV show called Wings I think???

I hope everyone finds thier Willoughby

Brilliant

This is one of my Favorite episode

Who wouldn't want to get off at a stop, at a moment in time that was wonderful, and hear 'Beautiful Dreamer' playing somewhere in the distance, and never want to leave??!! Hell, I'd do it so quickly and never look back.

On the New Haven Line, this is well known...We all loved it!

Wow classic

Famous episode enough to have a parody if it the" Seinfeld" George Costanza ending. One of the most twist endings of any TWZ epaidoes, the orginal ones and the revival TWZ 1985 episodes

The FBI has the full episode.

Cool show

Lived in Willoughby, Ohio; nothing like the idyllic town depicted and no band stand!

I can relate very very VERY much to the plot of the episode

@tylorluvsdegrassi this guy is overstress therefore he kept hallucilating about willoughby, but actually willoughby represent a get away from his current life, in other word, death is a get away from his life

There was Willoughby railway station on the East Lincolnshire Railway which served the village of Willoughby, England between 1848 and 1970. There is also a Willoughby in Ohio. Most likely it had a train station there during the 19th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willoughby%2C_Ohio

I often think many TZ episodes are about a person pushed to insanity [and I didn't realize the significance of saying that way-- 'pushed']. They then distort reality. And while things seem normal to others, they are perceiving something quite different. But Gart Williams here-- unlike the guy who thought a slot machine was trying to murder him, for instance-- KNOWs it's something his mind manufactured. But he chooses the distortion (Willoughby) over reality (death)-- and gets 'both.'

This is creepy. I’m actually watching this very episode and I was scrolling down my feed and lo and behold, this episode’s title shows up. Obscure and metaphysical explanation to cover a phenomenon. Reasons dredged out of the shadows to explain away that which cannot be explained. Call it algorithms or maybe fate. Whatever it is, I obviously found it in my KZfaq feed or better yet, the Twilight Zone.

Janey? Will you wait for me? Will you please wait for me? Click. Women have power to make or break men. Like Neil Young sings in Down By The River, "she could take me, over the rainbow..."

Why was this snippet even posted?

i guess Rod was glad this one only had to go 30 minutes

" Next stop Willoughby" "WILLOUGHBY '

Next time I'm on the train 🚉 I'm going to fall asleep an hopefully i might wake up in willougby 👍😁

Where can one purchase a ticket to Willoughby?

I thought this was poignant and meaningful when I was younger, but now I see it as a perverse endorsement of suicide. Life is a gift. Don't throw it away.

I see the reflection of the lamp on the TV screen.

“Poor fella”.

"A Stop At Willoughby" is, to a large extent, a critique of the male role of breadwinner. Instead of feeling the power of the patriarchy, a less successful man can feel trapped and demeaned by the pressure of being a breadwinner.

Mine is NOTHING IN THE DARK.!. 😻

What season is this???

Tony Curtis at 0:26.

" POOR FELLA "

I snapped one day and got a heart,,I'm considered damage goods but ive never been so healthy,,, I'm not sick enough to do that job anymore

Awful ending it should have been he really does go back in time and lives happily ever after in the small town where he belongs.

i was here

The crux of the matter

Is that Danny Thomas?

So what's about?

A lot of people, including Google, just don't get it; I'll add a clue: The railroad said it was a suicide, reason undetermined; and that's the way the newspaper reported it. Watch the episode, then give your own interpretation.

!!!

Willoughby. Next stop Willoughby

Very scary 😦 no joke

What is this about...2minutes ? I hate watch those little minutes whatever...I didn't realize...

She killed him

Ironically, James Daly , in this episode, (Actors Tim and Tyne Daly's father), was forced to leave the family by his wife of 23 years in 1965 due to his homosexuality. James went for the "cure" , which was unsuccessful. Tim at 19 years old, wanted to reconnect with his dad doing summer stock theater together, however his dad at 59 died suddenly in 1978, after having played a major role on TV's "Medical Center" , from 1969 - 1976.

Where is Willoughby is it real

Is Willoughby real.??. 😕

This must be Africa.

I always liked this episode, thought the title was "Last Stop Willoughby." They made a movie of this it was bloody awful. Take a 20 minute story and put in a lot garbage you don't need, set it in the old west and film it in colour, bloody awful.

Could of been better.

Im ready to go now.
