Synopsis

50 chilling true stories of haunted trains and ghostly workers from the steam locomotive era to the modern day

Discover dozens of hauntings on railroads in 19 US states as well as in Canada and the UK, including the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Atlantic Coast Line, Nickel Plate Road, Pennsylvania Railroad, and many more. Haunted Rails tells the tale of a possessed caboose on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and a Civil War–era rebel ghost train; museum hauntings at the Georgia State Railroad Museum in Savannah and the Railroaders Memorial Museum in Altoona, Pennsylvania; apparitions at Vancouver's Canadian Pacific Waterfront Station and Nashville's Union Station; and the haunted presidential trains of Abraham Lincoln and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Filled with ghost trains, spectral switchmen, and frightening facts, Haunted Rails is a spine-tingling ride to the other side that you don't want to miss. All aboard!
