My uncle's friend, Eric, told me about a train wreck on my uncle's property. In the winter of 1896 there was a steam engine that was late getting from Huntingdon to State College with the township of Spruce Creek along the route. On the property, there's woods and a ridge in the woods. On top of that ridge is a rusty OLD railroad. The train's number has been long forgotten since then, but the wreck resulted in no survivors, with only one whiteness. The train was going too fast when the brakes broke and the engineer blew the whistle as long as he could. The train hit a bend, derailed and plowed through the woods and the boiler exploded. Again, the wreck resulted in no survivors. The conductor, and the engineer were scalded to death by the steam, while the fireman (the guy who shoveled in the coal) was found burned to death IN the furnace. During a fire in the town hall, the records of the train wreck were burned and the story is only known because it has been passed down and told over and over again. Ever since I heard about the wreck of the forgotten train, there's something haunting about the sound of an old steam engine whistle.

[@drdarwinator]

woah…. that’s real creepy

[@stratuslocktheautobot4421]

Souls where lost that day and the last thing they heard was the screaming of the whistle. 2 men and one iron horse died. If I can pic the perfect whistle sound for your story is at 1:40. That whistle is a hooter/ one chime whistle. (I could be wrong about this-> Back in the 1890 not many steam whistle had 5 chime whistle or 6 chime. Most had whistles of 1 chime.

As you walk home one foggy summer night, you stumble upon an abandoned railway line. As you look up and down the tracks they seem to be endless due to the massive wall of mist appearing at both ends of the tracks. Just before you cross them you begin to feel uneasy, the air is warm and calm so why do you feel this chill crawling up your back and that thumping in your chest getting fast and louder. Then you hear the faint sound of a whistle of a train in the distance and as you stare into the mist you can see a small yellow glare appearing in the center of it. At first you think to yourself it's just your mind playing tricks on you, but the light starts grow in size. All of a sudden you realize that nothing runs on this railway anymore. You start to feel a vibration coming from the rusted rail and than you look up and you see it, the shape of an old and disfigured locomotive.

Listening to these whistles reminded me of an old tale that my grandfather told me my grandfather used to work on a railroad he used to be a signalman he told me where other story of a train and the story goes something like this he said I was sitting in my signal box one dark and gloomy night it was raining and thundering and lightning he said I was in charge of managing trains going to and from cities in the distance between cities were very distant he said one dark and gloomy night around maybe 3:00 p.m. he said I heard a Long and lonesome whistle he said there wasn't any train scheduled passed through my signal box I was concerned and tried to call ahead to the station where the train had came from but the lines were dead due to the storm he said I kept listening and then whistle kept getting closer he said I grabbed my lantern and head out on the balcony of my switchman check which hunt above the railroad lines and try to to spot the locomotive I couldn't see it because of the long distance away and the curve was very sharp at the very end of it he said as I walked out on The trestle above the railroad I heard the long whistle getting closer I went back to my shack and tried to call ahead to the stations at the train came from and I still could not get an answer as I did this whistle got closer and closer I put the phone down and looked out my window and it looked like a big steam locomotive carrying some freight cars did it looked like a long good strain he said as the train passed the air around him was so cold and the train vanished as fast as it came he said he went back in and sat at his desk and waited for daybreak where a workman's train would come pick him up from his signal box and relieve him from his job he said ever since that day he never found out what happened to that train the end

Not a ghost story, but when I was a teenager, my dad lived on my great grandmothers property after my great granddad passed away. They had 40 acres and a few head of cows, so my dad moved over there to help take care of the farm. I spent almost every summer of my teenage years on that farm. Toward the back of their property, was a rail line. On some nights, my dad and I would have to walk parts of the property line to check for breaks in the fence. Almost every Tuesday at 10 PM, a freight train would pass along the rail line. You could hear its horn for miles before the cars would come rumbling by. I was always entranced by the sound of this massive freight car rumbling through the night. But, apparently there was a steam engine used for leisure tours that passed through, and on certain nights, you could hear the steam whistle, accompanied by crickets and the occasional baying of cows. It was like time travel in that moment to say the least. One of my favorite childhood memories.

Not all ghost trains are steam locomotives, in the winter of 1993 a freight train was getting late from Tennessee to north carolina the train was pulled by 2 diesel locomotives which are Illinois southern locomotives, and the front one is 1901, it was late at night and everyone was asleep, meanwhile, a prison bus was also getting late taking prisoners to the electrical prison center, when the bus went out of control, she hit the guard rail, and she rolled down the hill, and landed on the tracks, most of the prisoners got out, when the engineer saw the bus, he tried to blow the horn at long as he could and pulled the brakes, the last prisoner jumped out of the bus a half second before the crash, but then.. the crash happened, the prisoner was being chased by the other locomotive, so he avoided it, and there was a huge fire, the entire train derailed and the engineer was eventually killed in the crash, rescue workers tried to find the engineer, but he was no where in sight, they never saw him again, there's something Haunted about the sound of an old diesel locomotive horn

When your trying to sleep but you live 19 feet right next to the tracks and hears a *HOOTER*

[@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks]

very weirdly described

[@d.riprock1546]

It's odd or maybe I just am but I moved to a place no more than 75-100' from a crossing when I was about 18 and the freight trains came thru 3 or 4x a night but it never bothered me at all. I hadn't lived near the track before and figured I wouldn't get any sleep but I kind of liked it.

When my father, his friend Max and I all went camping in the summer of 2018, I heard a faint diesel horn in the middle of the night and it scared the hell out of me

[@asanewby4273]

The Y6 was my favorite... N&W gotta represent. Awesome vid.

[@basictransportenthusiast4386]

I absolutely love the B&O 6 Chime

[@yinghuathepanda3413]

Man, i feel bad for these locomotives. Maybe one day these locomotives will be brought back.

[@joshuasebrell3026]

I definitely like the first whistle in this video. It kind of reminds me of the whistle used in the movie "Sometimes They Come Back".

[@SuperFoxyRailwayProduction6702]

It's the same whistle

[@brianfalzon6739]

The N&W and Reading Hooter and PRR Banshee whistles sounded exactly like ghost trains coming back to haunt the rails on Halloween!

[@acl1504]

You should listen to the whistle of Norfolk and Western 1218. I love it.

[@samuelhill755]

what would win in a Most Scariest Whistle battle? the PRR B6 Banshee, or the Southern Bootleg Hooter's screech?

[@felipen3673]

Anyone else wearing earbuds to this, gives me chills

[@Crusader24]

Same

[@camking1343]

The Norfolk and Western one gave me the chills it sounds like a tyrannosaurus Rex yawning in the distance

[@squeakysalmon9465]

Some of these whistles are horror game material. Just imagining hearing that PRR banshee in the woods on a quiet night.

[@ArkansasLocomotiveWorks]

Would be pretty cool ngl

[@electrik_loss]

The Pennsy's Banshee is probably one of my most favorite whistles ever Edit: I used to have the CD this came on, it was through the Semaphore Records label. I'll have to see if I can find it and upload it.

[@JOEMAMA_534]

What’s it called?

[@ericcrockett6396]

​​@JOEMAMA0928 Ghost Whistles at Cass. I have this on vinyl. There is another version on cassette that is the same name but it is all sounds from cass except the end has 4 of these whistles

[@NERRP2017]

That PRR b6 banshee whistle is bone chilling, like the ghost of that b6 is telling me to run

[@bubbs1881]

I can remember as a child living outside of a southern Illinois town that was built around the 1830s and there were old train lines that ran through the whole town. But outside the town was where the old rail lines also ran, and on the part I lived in you had to cross a river. And down a ways you could see two pillars which were used for railroads, anyways. Every once in a while our of no where in the middle of the night, you could still hear an old steam train. Sounded like a banshee. But probably a cass 4 chime. Something along those lines. But everyone called it the ghost train because the rail lines were ripped up and it would just be in the woods you would hear it. But, I do believe during the civil war about 6-5 miles from where I lived an accident happened. I know where I live at now there is a 1850s bridge and I have read a few articles of a civil war train being attacked by rebels. And well where I moved too, yes sometimes you can hear a whistle. And we have zero steam locos go through town. So, yes in a former place I lived and now I do hear ghost trains.
