One famous locomotive ghost story is about the 'Crying Brakeman'. Legend has it that on a particular old railway line, at midnight, a brakeman who had died in a tragic accident could be heard crying as the locomotive passed by a certain spot. His apparition was sometimes even seen on the tracks, waving his lantern as if still on duty.
There's a story about a locomotive in an abandoned railway yard. Locals say that if you walk through the yard at night, you can hear the sound of a locomotive starting up and the whistle blowing, but when you look, there's no physical locomotive there. It's believed to be the ghosts of the old locomotives that once worked in that yard, still trying to relive their glory days.
