ghost train
Spooky rail attraction
A ghost train is a fairground ride through dark enclosures with sudden frights—skeletons, recorded screams, things that brush against passengers.
The name also applies to phantom trains in folklore, said to appear on tracks where disasters occurred.
In British rail usage, a ghost train is a service running at impractical hours to maintain a franchise's legal right to a route.
