ghost trains

Spooky carnival rides

Ghost trains are amusement park rides that carry passengers through dark tunnels past spooky scenes—skeletons, cobwebs, sudden sounds.

The term is primarily British; Americans typically say haunted house ride or dark ride.

Separately, a ghost train is a scheduled rail service that runs empty or nearly so, kept operating only to preserve the route's legal status.
