A Ghost train refers to a ghost in the form of a train, usually just the locomotive, though there have been some ghost train stories that involve a whole train.
Most ghost train sightings have been recorded in the United States and Great Britain, where railway lines were the most extensive in the early half of the 20th Century. Some recorded sightings are of engines that were wrecked in earlier train crashes or derailments, while others are simply replays of past events.
Some of these Ghost train sightings include:
The Grey Train - A steam engine on the former Highland Railway outside Dunfermline, near Glasgow. The engine was first seen in 1921, hauling four dimly-lit carriages. It was later seen in 1929, and this report states that the train was floating. No further sightings have been reported, as the track was torn up in the c.1930's.
Nimbus - A British Rail Class 55 "Deltic" diesel locomotive. Was sighted on the main line outside of Crewe nine months after it was scrapped.
The Ghost Train of Republic - Recurring haunting in the woods of Seneca County, Ohio made notable by Chris Woodyard in the Haunted Ohio book series.
