The piercing scream of a train’s whistle in the dead of night feels like a ghost—it slips through the darkness, unseen, yet you can sense its approach, creeping ever closer. In this episode, we explore the spine-chilling world of ghost trains—phantom locomotives that travel forgotten tracks, leaving behind a trail of fear and mystery. From the lingering presence of Abraham Lincoln’s funeral train still haunting America’s railways, to the chilling urban legends surrounding Sweden’s Silver Arrow, we’ll uncover ghostly tales that defy time and space. We’ll also investigate the strange lights near long-abandoned tracks in rural Saskatchewan and explore the forgotten “ghost stations” hidden beneath our cities. These spectral trains have haunted our imaginations for generations—listen now to uncover the spellbinding stories that refuse to fade away.
