Description
In the mid-1800s, ghosts and trains seemed to be heading in opposite directions: ghosts disappearing with the superstitious past and trains speeding into a future of mechanical progress.But it did not take long for new ghosts to book passage on the modern railways.After the End of the Line: Railroad Hauntings in Literature and Lore combines fiction, poetry, memoir, news-paper articles, and more to reveal how their cross-influence created horrifying accounts of apparitions on the tracks, haunted train tunnels and switching stations, even phantom locomotives!
