Old West rail lore with a paranormal route map

Drawing on Old West-era newspaper accounts, this second volume gathers supernatural railroad tales from across the United States. Phantom trains, spectral rail workers, haunted stations, wrecks, a ghostly steer, and other apparitions are linked by the expanding rail network and the dangers surrounding it. The entries range from the Lincoln Funeral Train in New York to legends tied to Montana, Texas, North Dakota, Minnesota, North Carolina, Virginia, and California. Rail history provides the framework, while the book’s subject is the folklore and reported hauntings that accumulated around tracks, tunnels, bridges, stations, and passenger cars.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of ghost stories connected to railroads and Old West history
  • Readers interested in paranormal legends drawn from historical newspaper accounts
  • Transportation-history browsers seeking folklore-focused railroad material

Book overview

Stories of phantom trains sailing across the railroad tracks are a staple of the Old West. In that spirit, the authors dug deep into the recesses of Old West-era newspapers to unearth horrifying accounts of phantom trains and ghostly railroad workers haunting the tracks. Watch as the Lincoln Funeral Train sails through New York and run from the Phantom Train of Marshall Pass in the Rocky Mountains. Fear the apparition of Ghost Hill, Texas, then board the Northern Pacific Railroad's Locomotive No.13 for a haunted ride through Montana. Round up Old Ruidoso, the ghost steer who caused a terrible trainwreck outside of Amarillo, and witness the Devil's Lake Monster from within the safety of a passenger car as it passes through North Dakota. Tour the haunted railroad station of St. Paul, Minnesota, before exploring the ghostly happenings of the Bostian Bridge Horror in North Carolina. Finally, escape a vampire in a collapsed railroad tunnel in Church Hill, Virginia, and survive a train wreck caused by a cursed circus mummy outside of San Diego, California...
