Does a subway count as a train? I think it does.

Working on fixing railroads.

Often out far in the woods repairing things in the tracks with just 1 other guy.

Knowledge that railroads is literally a spiritual tunnel of bad energy and suffering by the hundreds of thousands big animals that died along it

Heard screams in the woods.

Rails "moaning", they usually make a sound when trains approach but this was a deeper and less monotone sound, no road crossings or anything for miles that could be responsible.

Found animal giblets in all different states of rotting.

Big Bird turned to ash when connecting the electrification with ground potential

Seen wierd totally malplaced shit in the woods and small towns when traveling by car to the next place to fix.

Herds of animals up to 20 deers hit by train. Some still alive but horribly injured. We cut their throats with a short cable knife to put them out of their misery. Spray alot of blood. They twitch while we cut.. Not fun. Worst of all is the smell though

Encounter bears, wolves and elks occasionally


6/10 kinda spooked sometimes

There's the granddaddy of them all anon: The Signalman by Charles Dickens. other anon said Barker's Midnight Meat Train, that's pretty good too. I remember having an anthology of ghost stories set on trains and railways way back, might have been one of Peter Haining's.

"The Town Where No One Got Off" by Ray Bradbury. Also made into an episode of Ray Bradbury Theater. It's on Youtube.

>On what seems a whim, a passenger on the Chicago-Los Angeles train gets off in a strange town. There he meets an old man who admits that he has been waiting a long time on the station platform for a stranger to get off the train. When the two men talk, each discovers that he is the fulfillment of the other's secret fantasy. The traveler suddenly realizes that he has secretly wished to get off a train in a town where no one knows him, commit a murder, then get on the train again with no one ever being the wiser. Likewise, the old man has waited for years for a stranger to step from the train. The desire to commit an undetected murder is all-consuming. When each learns that he is to be the other's victim, the fear of death is too great. The men turn from each other and walk away.
