I think this was lovercraft, or one of his contemporaries. The story is about a man walking across a swamp. he climbs a hill, and finds some old trolley tracks. following them, he sees a trolley stopped ahead, with no one inside. go goes inside and waits for the conductor to return. after a bit he hears some howling, and looks out the window, to see a figure int he conductors niform approaching. Needless to say it is no human, and he goes crazy and runs away.

Sounds like the ending of Shadow Over Innsmouth...

"The thing in the moonlight" by Lovecraft and J. Chapman Miske.
That would be the story I believe.
Very good, one of my favorites.
Read it Online in the Temple archives "I'm farther from doing what I want to do than I was 20 years ago"

It was The Thing in the Moonlight, and the conductor had a long "pinkish" tentacle instead of a face; Nyarlathotep, or one of his minions, mayhap.
