Hey tot could you cover silver run and eatons tunnel? The story behind eatons tunnel is so around 1962 they were working on the tunnels. When the tunnel collapsed. Three men were trapped inside but only one would survive. One got pulled out of the rubble but died due to his injuries. Thelast guys body still lies buried in the old tunnel. They built a new tunnel in 1963. It is said that you can see him in the new tunnel. Silver run is way better. Train engineers on the B&O Parkersburg branch saw a young woman in A wedding gown with golden slippers and black hair. The engineers braked the train as not to kill the woman. Then one night a engineer by the name of Henry O Flannigan did not brake and instead charged right through the ghost. After he hit the ghost it flew up with a shreik. Then signal boxes down the branch started reporting a pale white woman riding on the cow catcher of the locomotive. But when he reached Parkersburg it was not there no sighn he hit anything. Years later in a white farm house along the line a skeleton in a white wedding gown wearing golden slippers. So the silver run ghost was murdered. I have been to both eatons and silver run tunnel they are on the north bend rail trail now the line was taken up in the 90s. This all accured on the B&O branch line that ran from ClArksburg West Virginia to Parkersburg west virginia. Silver run is tunnel #19. Eatons tunnel is #21. Interesting little branch with a good bit of history. I could help if you want a video on the branch tot.

[@richardsweeney197]

Don't forget, before he was our President, Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer for the Illinois Central Railroad. Also, I had never heard about the Locomotive, but they had built a special car for Lincoln. A few years ago, someone built a reproduction of rhe car. Lincoln wasn't particularly happy about the car, he didn't think he should be traveling in luxury while the nation was at war. Also, the Hoosac Tunnel is pronounced like "who-zic"

[@wallacechan-qi4un]

Imagine typing all that for 8 likes 💀

[@haydenz32]

Actually us locals call it hoo-Zac. Because we have other local towns pronounced hoo-zic. Like Hoosic Valley and Hoosick Falls. The Hoosac river is also pronounced Hoo-Zac.

[@Railhog2102]

And also rode the B&O too, One locomotive there a 4-4-0 no 25 pulled Lincoln's train in 1861

[@liamcarey560]

I didn’t know he was the lawyer for the Illinois central railroad

[@ajkleipass]

Footnote: Hoosac Tunnel is currently used by CSX and Norfolk Southern. The Boston & Maine vanished into mergers and underhanded schemes (long story) several decades ago, operating variously as Guilford, Springfield Terminal, PanAm, and PanAm Southern.

[@jingles9657]

"suffered from a terminal case of being shot in the head" had me crying laughing

[@marcschirmeister9821]

The Newark story sounds like it was inspired by the old cowboy folk song "The Hell-Bound Train”. A Texas cowboy on a bar-room floor had drunk so much he could hold no more So he fell asleep with a troubled brain to dream he rode that Hell-bound train. The engine with murderous blood was damp and the headlight was a brimstone lamp A fireman imp was shoveling bones and the firebox groaned with a thousand moans. The boiler was filled with lager beer and the Devil himself was the engineer The passengers were a most motley crew Christian, atheist, Gentile, and Jew. Rich men in broadcloth, beggars in rags handsome young ladies and withered old hags Yellow men, black men, red, brown, and white all chained together- O Lord, what a sight! While the train rushed on at an awful pace the sulfurous fumes scorched their hands and face Wilder and wilder the country grew faster and fast the locomotive flew. Louder and louder the thunder crashed Brighter and brighter the lightning flashed Hotter and hotter the air became till the clothes were burnt from each quivering frame. And from the cab came the yell “Ha ha,” cried the Devil, “we’re nearing Hell!” And, oh, how the passengers shrieked in pain and begged the Devil to stop the train. But he blew the whistle and capered with glee and laughed at his passengers misery “My faithful friends, you have done your work and the Devil can never a pay-day shirk!” “You’ve bullied the weak, you’ve robbed the poor The starving brother you’ve kicked from your door You’ve piled up gold where the canker rust You’ve given free-rein to your beastly lust!” “Corruption you’ve loved and justice you’ve abhored and you’ve mocked the laws of Nature and the Lord You’ve cheated, robbed, plundered, and lied and cursed God in your drunken pride!” “You have paid full fare so I’ll carry you through and its only right that you should have your due! The laborer always expects his hire so I’ll land you safe in the Lake of Fire!” “There your flesh will fry in the flames that roar and my imps will torment you forevermore!” Then the cowboy awoke with an anguished cry his clothes all sweaty and his hair standing high. The he prayed as he never had prayed till that hour to be saved from his sins and the Devil’s power And his prayers and his vows were all not in vain for he never rode that Hell-bound train.

[@regginaldcat1]

My god that is awesome. You need to write this song

[@marcschirmeister9821]

It's already been written. "The Hell Bound Train" is based on the poem "Tom Grey's Dream" by Retta M. Brown from the mid-1920s. If my information is correct, it was originally written as a religious tract meant to be handed out as a warning at revival meetings, speakeasies, and skid row missions, and somehow by the mid-1930s it had been turned into a genuine folk song, Tom Grey becoming a cowboy or a lumberjack or a sodden wino under a different name, but sometimes just staying Tom Grey. I've quoted here one of many different versions of "The Hell Bound Train" and if you go to KZbin there are plenty of variations you can listen to, most of them by country and western "hillbilly" singers, though there are some rock n' roll covers of the song. @@regginaldcat1

[@spingleboygle]

lesson: don’t get drunk

[@dadodadokowski9108]

I'm pretty sure that I've seen someone debunk the first story once simply by measuring the elevation of the crossing and found out that the crossing was sloped, therefore making your car roll across if you turn off the engine and brakes. Plus the alleged screams were literally turkeys from a nearby farm being fed.

[@AllisonChainz3718]

Lets also not forget that most cars in the US have automatic transmissions which tend to creep forward if you leave the brakes off and the engine on.

[@tonierbuckle0202]

​@Mycol-wz9dq not if its in neutral

[@MakerInMotion]

I'm glad people don't scream when fed like turkeys do. Restaurants would be no fun.

[@spingleboygle]

imagine being so scared af by the local turkeys being fed on the farm near you that you spread it in the news that there’s a ghost train and it’s the screams of children

[@kriscook2423]

If I remember correctly, Zak Bagans and his Ghost Adventures crew tested the first story. They think the oil from their hands made the handprints on the back of their car and there was a slope to the crossing making the car roll off the tracks. I used to love watching Ghost Adventures.

[@JasonRoblesSembrano]

18:15 That was an unexpected jumpscare. The Ghost Giant: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!

[@tl-Jadon]

Can you imagine you walk out but ass naked smoking a cigar and the ghost of Lincoln is chilling by the fire place and your response is just good evening mister president you hve caught me at a disadvantage and he just laughs and just DIPS😂

[@dragonblaster-vu8wz]

Your description of Niagara Falls is top notch. They should include that in the tourist ads

[@asteroidrules]

I've long wondered what it is that makes some professions seem more prone to ghost stories than others. It's rare to meet a railroader or miner who doesn't believe in ghosts, but it's equally rare to meet a pilot or accountant who does.

[@caboose9843]

maybe its to do with how long these professions have existed, paired with them being high skill, and dangerous to make mistakes in?

[@yellowpete79]

Went to Macquarie fields a few years ago. So many trains even till 1am or so. No ghosts, was more concerned about being attacked since its a low socioecononmic suburb. Between trains it was nice, there was a marsh or pond opposite the station with alot of frogs singing.

[@QJ89]

I live in Melbourne, where there are many sketchy stations. As far as I know, none of them are haunted by mentally-ill ghosts. I don't know if that makes us luckier than Sydney...!

[@JRwash25]

I grew up in Niagara Falls, the story of screaming tunnel is well known around the area. Lit a match many of times in the middle and never had anything happen. My Dad told me it's just an old wife's tale and the screams are that of foxes.

[@TheBaldrickk]

Fox screams certainly DO sound like the sounds someone might make if they're being disemboweled, so I can believe it

[@pilotbug6100]

The first one is from Luigi's Mansion.

[@20chocsaday]

I remember being at an interview and just as I was explaining how coal was graded in a power station I had to stop, His desk was acting like the size separaters and shaking back and forth. He did not seem to notice. In a minute he prompted me to continue. I restarted, paused and asked about his desk. He didn't see anything. Incidentally, the power station I had in mind was demolished some years later and it was about the same time of day that I watched the chimney fall.

[@misterflibble6601]

Top notch ghost stories + trains

[@johntyjp]

I d have thought the Harrow rail crash in 1952 would be haunted, 2 express trains and a commuter train collision?! Off to bed but I think I ll leave a light on tonight !🧐

[@spingleboygle]

i love the intro of the second one and how Churchill casually remarked at having the ghost of president Lincoln himself staring at him naked

[@asteroidrules]

Lincoln's ghost wasn't the only US president to see Churchill naked, apparently it was a regular thing for him to not get dressed after bathing and FDR once saw him nude.

[@rodimussupreme2329]

That first story is untrue. You got it right that the story is mixed up. What you didn’t know is that surveys done on the road shows it’s going downhill even though it looks like it’s going uphill. It’s an optical illusion. The cars are just rolling because of gravity. I’ve seen investigations check on the handprint thing and they never saw any. It’s an untrue story.

[@MakerInMotion]

Yeah I think I remember a TV show debunking that way back in the 90s. But what I want to know is if the bus accident even happened at all.

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

Ooh, boo music from Luigi's Mansion. Nice touch.

[@vickielawless]

Re. the Kings Cross fire, the ferocity and speed of the fire was due to the air movement caused by trains still running, and a hitherto unknown fire phenomenon named "the trench effect". My uncle was a London firefighter who attended this blaze (and the Moorgate crash of 1975), and to this day says the Underground is the worst place to have a serious incident.

[@whitelionstudios1786]

while i heard the whistle, i never did see the train itself, for Lincoln's funeral train ghost. in fact, there was no train on either of the two now NS tracks or one CSX track in sight. something i still am shocked by, this happened in the Ohio Capital, along the route

[@Straswa]

Great work ToT! Thanks for putting all the stories into one vid.

[@Rebel9668]

Building upon burial grounds must be why Britain is so haunted as well then. Imagine being a King buried under a car park, lol. Or going to your eternal rest in the earth only to be dug up by the sexton after a few years to be put into a bone house so there's room for the next in the family to be buried. Or, so many sharing a single grave that random bones end up resurfacing over time.

[@20chocsaday]

Worms don't eat bones.

Word has it Lincoln scared Winston Churchill so bad in the bathtub that Mr. Churchill deposited a “Lincoln LOG” 💩🪵in the bath water.

[@mitchelwood2749]

I volunteer at a couple of railways here in New Zealand one of which is based at a station that has been around since the late 1860s, one morning I heard a voice so clear I though it was my fireman turning up and as I was saying good morning turned around and saw no one and there was no one around or near the engine, that one freaked me out abit

[@mitchelwood2749]

This was at about 5.00 am in the middle of winter so was still very dark

[@4unfed]

as an american i can definitely confirm that it's the various burial grounds causing the constant ghost sightings

The train and station in the second Bendy game is based on Silverpilen and it's abandoned station.

[@malcolmgibson6288]

I'm not surprised that Churchill saw things after all the spirits he consumed.

[@tvpigy9290]

I don’t live that far from the SOO high bridge, Haven’t gone there many times cause I only go to see a train pass over it which is a once a day train. Never knew it had a ghost story tied to it.

[@QLDrailfan798]

1:18:24 so, as a believer of the spiritual things, I think that Hoosac is definitely a tunnel with no mercy.

Happy to see the San Antonio crossing, if any actually wondering even tho it may seem the road is not level witch is why cars roll down, it will only roll down in one direction.

[@duskmoon181]

Has nothing to do with railroads. But 2 years ago I was sleeping on the couch in my mother's house. It was a house on a property with another larger house where the landlord lived. The landladys mother died in 1993 in the house my mom was renting. So one night I was sleeping on the couch. I'd come over to help her paint and was pretty tired so I was put cold from 9:30 P.M. to around 1 A.M. when I woke up to use the bathroom. However when I opened my eyes, the ghost of a thin elderly woman was floating above me. She had no legs, her waist just kind of dissipated into a blue mist, her entire rest of her body was glowing blue. I'll never forget how terrified I was. I couldn't move or say anything from fear. And I know i wasnt experiencing sleep paralysis because ive had that happen multiple times and this didnt feel like it at all. But all she did was smile and then fade away into nothing. When I could finally move I woke my mom up and told her about it. All she said was "Oh that's just Fern. She was probably checking you out and saying thank you for helping repaint her house for me." And she laughed. That was scariest and coolest encounter I've ever had with the supernatural.

[@zamazenta2023]

I have been waiting for this compilation to come out!

[@Switchblade-sh3kx]

I will say the first story is kinda bogus since it turned out that wreck happened a few miles away, and the fact of the cars being pushed is actually caused by a optical illusion as the road is on a down grade, causing the car to "roll uphill and over the grade".

On ancient burial grounds or there where to many railway accidents from 18th century to 19th century that creates ghosts and the supernatural and stuff

[@streetfightinmanrs]

So a few things about the Lincoln funeral train: -it wasn’t a locomotive built for Lincoln, but a private car. -due to the myriad of gauges used by railroads in the US in 1865, multiple different trains had to carry Lincoln’s body from Washington, DC to Springfield, Illinois. This is why there are so many different pictures of “the” Lincoln funeral train that don’t match.
