Episode 216 Phantom Trains and a Headless Signalman

Family Plot

So this episode is the first of our 2024 Spooky Season and we begin with a few haunting tales of phantom trains. We begin in Washington DC for a story about Lincoln's Funeral train and how it would reappear at night years afterwards chugging it's way down the tracks attended by skeletons and sepulcheral figures. Then we go to Maco Station in North Carolina to meet a signalman killed during a crash whose signal light would appear again and again forcing the company to put a signalman with two lanterns at Maco Station to stop trains from stopping for the phantom signalman. Then we go back to North Carolina and examine the Bostian Bridge train wreck, and it's phantom that still appears crossing the old bridge. Finally we go to Frenchtown Road in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and see a ghost train that is still seen to this day. Arthur talks Detroit: Become Human in her corner and packed full of the usual banter and insanity. Enjoy!
