Ghost Train

Amonote coal mine 1931,  a 200 car freight train loaded to capacity with coal pulls out of the loading bay at 11:45 pm. At 12:25 AM the train crashed due to excessive speed and the rail way was tampered with. All persons on board perished. Now present day, the old timers say, every time there's a full moon, the train that crashed rides the rails again. But when it gets behind a house and lets one long blast on the air horn before it crashes, the house at the bottom of the mountain will burn down killing the residents inside. If it's one short blast followed by one long blast the house across the street will burn not the one on the side of the railroad.
