Ghost Train

[@RingoandCarlin]

Out of all Willie Rushton's narrations this has got to be his greatest of all. Everything he did in this one came out perfect, and the the howling noises are awesome. Best audio railway series narrator ever. You rule Willie!

[@THOMASINTHE1980S]

I prefer Starr’s.

[@RingoandCarlin]

@@THOMASINTHE1980S yes Ringo Starr and George Carlin's versions of Percy's Ghostly Trick were perfect.

[@user-cl8xh6bc9y]

This is one of my favourite Thomas stories EVER and to hear a different, brilliant narrator telling the tale is wonderful. Although Ringo Starr is my favourite Thomas storyteller, Rushton is still fantastic here. Thank you for sharing.

[@MrDCWood]

I remember this so fondly from when I was a kid getting the audio cassette out of the library. Rushton's fantastic narrations and the rare use of sound effects made this such a favourite of mine.

[@RingoandCarlin]

One time when I was listening to this, and when I was asleep I could hear a howling noise in my dream and the part where Willie is doing his ghostly voice. Wow!

[@TheLogFella]

Sir Jake same bro same

[@RingoandCarlin]

Cool

[@forrestdupre87]

It’s hard to believe this is one of the last stories Awdry wrote.

[@RingoandCarlin]

@@forrestdupre87 I know. I felt that way when I read Mavis and Toby's Tightrope. It was hard to believe that was the end of Wilbert Awdry's stories

[@Fanoflarryboy97-f9z]

I swear. The sound effects of the owl hooting and the ghost trains whistle make it even more unsettling. I love it!

[@arenjtumastens]

This is always one of my most favorite episodes of the series, both RWS and TV series. And this narration, with those sound effects, was on point, and one of my most favorites by Willie Rushton.

[@gretchenchadwick8343]

My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🛤🚋🚞🚝🚊🚉🚈🚇🚅🚄🚃🚂 especially the ones in these stories and he is glad that Reverend Wilbert Awdry wrote them. My son also says that from 01:43 - 2:44 that he can hear the hoot of a Tawny Owl 🦉, he really likes owls 🦉 too!

[@TheAutisticCapricorn811]

I swear I can't get enough of how much invigorating piece of artistry Willie Rushton's narration and Gunvor and Peter Edwards' illustrative portraiture is together. It's such captivating world-building the Railway Series has ever deserved for the love and inspiration of railroading Wilbert Awdry wanted to create in these everlasting stories of his. Literature can be quite a discovery, and there ain't nothin' wrong with digging as deep as you can to find the hearth and lore of what it resembles in fine entertainment.

[@TheAutisticCapricorn]

I also can't get enough of loving the Halloween vibes I feel no matter when I read this fun story. Honestly why oh why couldn't I have been born in October?

[@shirokumaotaku]

The perfect story for the late Willie Rushton to narrate considering that he also narrated & provided all of the voices for The Trap Door

[@brianfalzon6739]

Imagine I was in it, like on a foggy Halloween night, listen to the wind howling and hearing a ghost train's spooky and eerie whistle and get nightmares afterwards! Very scary!

[@billyjudd3326]

0:06 Those sounds were very spooky, they gave me a lot of nightmares, In one of my nightmares, The ghost train attacked a local grocery store and made the checker Mr. Toad go missing.

[@Stussmeister]

Having grown up watching the live-action Thomas episodes (before ever reading the stories on which they were based), I remember the episode "Ghost Train", or "Percy's Ghostly Trick" here in the US, giving me nightmares when I was younger, especially with the music and the image of the ghost train going across the viaduct at the beginning. These days, it doesn't scare me that much, and I've even written a few ghost stories myself. Moreover, while I'm aware that others have already made their own versions of or additions to this "Ghost Train" story, I one day want to create my own narrative that ends with what Percy said.

[@stinkyroadhog1347]

Awdry had wanted Duke's book to be the last but just think, if he hadn't been pressured to do one more book, we wouldn't have gotten this story and wouldn't have gotten the iconic Ghost train theme from the TVS

[@ciarangleeson2880]

And Mavis probably would not have been introduced. Besides, Thomas, Percy and Toby had not appeared since Stepney The Bluebell Engine, not counting when Thomas had a very brief non-speaking role in Main Line Engines.

[@masterfarr8265]

I like to imagine Thomas begging and pleading his driver to stay away from the shed XD

[@asthmaticnightmare215]

This narration is better than the actual episode

[@robnewman6101]

I use to watch the episode of Ghost Train on the Screen Legends video of Thomas the Tank Engine. Series 2.

[@DragonStar524]

What amazes me about these characters is that they still act like children despite being really old. That's what I love about this series.

[@frankforttheorangee2produc110]

Makes for a great Halloween special

[@anrisak2596]

I was on a ski-course and it was 23:00 in the night. My two friends wanted me to tell them a story. And I of course chose Ghost train. And as I was in the middle of Thomas's scream our teacher ran into our room and started to shout what are we doing that we are shouting like crazy. The part from,, let me in'' to I must find Annie and Clarabel'' became a meme for us and we now reference it daily. I think that the perfect timing of our teacher entering the room and spooking us being so perfectly sinchronised with percy breakimg in and spooking Thomas is stupidly funny. One of my best memories from those days ( right behind my friend flooding the bathroom, me dancing with our girls or me falling on my head in full speed. Good times😊)

[@konradsarnecki3044]

"Tramway Engines" is last album writen by Wilberd Awdry. And also the last one, all chapters of which were adapted into episodes.

[@masterfarr8265]

Thomas has been pestering me to write about his Branch line. "After all", he said, "we are the importantest part of the whole railway". "What can I write about?" I asked. "Oh, lots of things - Percy's Woolly Bear, Toby's Tightrope and..." "...your Ghost," I added. "Don't put that silly story in," said Thomas crossly. I will, all the same. Thomas has been too much cocky lately. It will serve him right! The Author

[@reedbradwahnnatahvera3883]

Another one of my favorite railway series stories

[@TheAutisticCapricorn]

Mine too 💯

[@mylesthomasandfriends838]

Remember this from RWS Ghost Train? Sam gave it up. He unhorsed the horse and rode back to the farm for help. "There's still time," he told himself. "The next train isn't due for an hour."

[@SierraRail3Prod]

2:21 good thing he kept his face he also has a hole in his smokebox HE STILL RUNS?!

[@jacqueswilkes3520]

This Book Was Published In 1972 For The Release Of Horror Express.

[@alexlazebat839]

i thought it was the ghost train by arnold ridley starring arthur askey

[@chrisrichardson1091]

0:59 😒 If You Ask Me. I Totally Agree With Thomas There's No Such Thing As Ghost Trains Besides Percy's Just A Silly Little Engine!

[@MrComedy01]

LOL at the 6th Picture Toby's laughing along with the joke, I'm surprised Thomas didn't have the courage to llok over and see his branch line friends laughing at the ghost joke! XD

[@TheAutisticCapricorn811]

I just love moments of Toby being the chaotic neutral that he is. Such a relatable characteristic even I want to attain. It's even in this story when he joins Percy in playing a ghostly trick into frightening Thomas, and in the next story where he joins Thomas at laughing at Percy when he gets all covered in a bail of hay. It's really comprehending that Toby doesn't take sides to anyone's opinion or dilemma. He is truly a funny neutral agent of chaos.

[@manuelbrewer6927]

At the beginning of the video, where did you get the sound effects? It is sooooooooo good.

[@carribob1992]

I don't think the uploader added the sounds. The company that published these recordings originally also published Railway Records (Look up Argo Transcord when you have time, the records are essentially sound recordings). The story Thomas Comes To Breakfast from the Branch Line Engines audio book has a sound recording from the Argo Transcord record "D For Diesels" (The part recorded at Princes Risbrough station)

[@TheHornyWhiteWolf]

If Awdry got the chance to see the fans adaptations made from the ghost story he'd probably be impressed or horrified

[@ricardomoreira1514]

[@jaanshersaeed4541]

Saying this Ghost Story on TV actually was something that actually happened and wasn’t Timothy, what if the ghost story Percy’s driver saw was based off the Lindal Railway Incident (as D1 #115 did plunge into a gap) with some people making a ghost film about it? Whatever Percy’s driver saw and if it was real, either he could’ve either not known the accident was real or did know and just pretended the film he watched on TV was fake so he wouldn’t scare him.
