Ghostly Spectre of a 1960s DMU at Broadway Station in Worcestershire.
The station is currently a building site but taking shape thanks to hard graft from GWR volunteers.
Greet tunnel, a few miles down the line is said to be haunted but daytime sightings of this ghostly train in the Broadway area have only occurred since the station rebuild began. It is thought that this long gone engineer was angered by closure of the line and visits the site in his ghost train to check on the station's progress.
The Nottingham Goose Fair is an annual travelling funfair held at the Forest Recreation Ground here in Nottingham. This year, 2022, it runs for 10 days, usually it's 3 days. Final day 09 Oct 2022.

Grave Stone Abandoned Station
The clock is nearing midnight... An Abandoned Station stands along the rusty tracks of Grave Stone. Jebediah's last words were "I'll be dead before this train comes". Who would have guessed he was right? There's one ticket out of Grave Stone that can be found within the decrepit walls of the Abandoned Station; but this ticket is for a special ride, a ride on the haunted Ghost Train. In order to redeem the ticket, one must wait between 11:00 PM and midnight at the station. The only problem is that there are other less-sightly creatures that are also trying to escape Grave Stone, and they will kill for a ticket aboard the Ghost Train. And what ghastly train stops at an Abandoned Station within Grave Stone?
Do you dare wait until midnight to find out...
Courtesy Tim Hollis. This was Six Flags' attempt at a haunted house attraction. I don't remember too much about it other than there was a fountain or pool of water in it. A monster would rise up out of the water periodically. Also there were some vampires laying in glass coffins that were breathing, which was kind of spooky. Later on in the walk-through tour, you went down some steps that were dimly lit and into a room where it looked like it was raining outside, with blue light and trees if I remember correctly, which was a little depressing.
The last time I went through it was about 1983 or 84. There were Six Flags employees dressed like witches and monster in the line. I never thought the theming was quite right for Six Flags, even as a kid. Their haunted house never fit in with the vibe of the rest of the park. A few of their rides were a little scary I thought; for example, the train ride had skeletons in the passing scenery, and the Riverboats had indians and dead people throughout, and Tales From The Okeefenokee was terrifying to a kid. But the Horror Cave had no ties with the vibe of the park. It was in the Spanish section, and when I think of Spain, I don't think of haunted houses. Perhaps it would have been more appropriate if it was in the Confederate or British section.
From what I hear there was a long slide at the end but I don't recall that. Anybody else remember anything about it?
Suffering from being a badly under exposed 30 second exposure, a lot of strange artifacts showed up in this shot when i lightened it up in post. I liked the shot, so I just kept on processing and trying to use the criss-crossed lines and splotches to better effect. I even went so far as to add a heavy film grain to mask the defects. As it turns out, this is my favorite shot of the night, and I hope you like it, too...^+^
Have a creepy weekend...^+^
The lupine transport seems to have become disattached from the Ghost Line when the train made its descent into the valley. By the light of a full moon, a "clank" is heard from the chained box as a section of the crate gives way. A large head, not human, but not quite animal growls ferociously as its eyes glow red with the scent for blood.
He's gaining on us!

165 038 comes into South Ruislip Station to form the 10.57 (Parliamentary Service) to Paddington Station for the very last time. Usually running empty or wiith a couple of passengers, Chiltern had added an extra coach to cater for all of the rail enthusiasts who were riding it 'at the death'. Passenger numbers had been rising steeply in it's final week of service. A total of 140 passengers would be on this final trip in. South Ruislip had never been so busy with people and the rain didn't seem to put them off with one chap travelling from Wales for the occasion.
The following weekend would see HS2 work start on the old 'New North Mainline' cutting the route into Paddington via Park Royal and Old Oak Common. But far from being axed completely this Parliamentary service will now be diverted into West Ealing in common with GWRs Greenford Shuttle service to keep up route learning and driver training. Perhaps as one era comes to an end another starts?

Galway gravedigger tour during 2018, two hours of haunting stories while visiting Galway Cathedral, Clareway Abbey and the Spanish Arch with a drink included with each ticket at McHugh Bar & Restaurant.
Signs, paintings, murals, graphic artwork, what ever you want to call it, is in abundance at Goose Fair. On stalls, rides, just about everywhere. I decided to take quite a few photos to capture the art (artists) and showcase their work.

Great Southern & Western Railways No. 186 steaming onto the Leixlip viaduct just outside Leixlip Louisa Bridge station on it's way from Dublin Connolly to Mullingar with an RPSI Ghost Train steam special.
The water in the foreground is the Royal Canal, the large MGWR (Midland Great Western Railway) built viaduct in Leixlip carries the railway, the canal and the towpath across the river Rye. This shot was taken from the towpath on the viaduct. The Leixlip viaduct is a strange beast. It's a fairly small bridge over the river Rye with a massive earthen embankment running over it. This means that there are trees and bushes growing all the way up the viaduct, so when you're standing at the top you'd be forgiven for not noticing that you're on an artificial viaduct rather than a very steep hill.
No. 186 seems to have been working very hard on this run, that or the coal was just very wet, but she was pouring out a hell of a lot of very dirty smoke.
No. 186 is a class J15 0-6-0 mainline locomotive preserved by the Irish Rail Preservation Society. You can read more about her on their website.

I love going to see this train whenever we are in Yuma, AZ.
Ghost Train" at Yuma Crossing
The outdoor exhibit area opened in 2010 at the exact site where the first railroad train entered Arizona in 1877. It would not be until April of 1880 that the Southern Pacific Railroad would reach Tucson. But once the tracks were laid, the train reduced the time it took to bring freight to Tucson from San Francisco from several months to just a few days at up to 75% less cost.
The 1907 Baldwin locomotive sits on the original track alignment. As kids clamber over the big steam engine, a 21st-century audio system re-creates the sounds of a passing steamboat, the swing-span rail bridge cranking open and the arrival of a train at the old Southern Pacific Hotel.

I meant to post this on Halloween but doesn't seem like I have much time to spend on Flickr lately, oh well.
Me and my wife took our son to Tweetsie Railroad a few weeks ago to ride the Ghost Train that they have every year around Halloween. This shot was a little tough to get since I didn't carry my tripod with me, I had to shoot this hand-held. I used a hand rail to steady my shot, turned on the IS on my lens and shot at iso6400. This image did require some pretty heavy editing but I think the end result turned out pretty good.
