I, for one, am picturing Elga Dingler to be one Dr. Egon Spengler's sister.
I'm also somewhat curious about Kathleen Vanderyk's maiden name.
Definitely a ghost story with some potential. Who doesn't love them some old trains?
Also, no bonus points for guessing that October 13, 1905 was a Friday.

Ghost Train!! Sweet! Another fine tip of the hat to the game we all love and miss. I'm gonna have to make my very own Ghostbuster to run this Story Arc with. ;P
I always loved following the Ghost Ship in Independence Port, will this be a similar type of event?
Looking forward to this event. ^_^

Not bad. Ghost trains make for rich story material. It could use a harmonica player who may or may not be the devil in disguise. (Harmonicas are great for spooky train sounds.)
It reminds me a bit of "The Little Black Train", a classic Manly Wade Wellman short story--its backstory was about a love triangle among a rail owner, his wife, and one of the engineers. It even features a line about the train rolling in, repeated several times in a song. (The train didn't actually wreck, however; the engineer killed the owner and was sent to the electric chair, and the wife--who allegedly set the whole thing up--sold off the line and had the tracks taken up...but the train kept rolling in, just for her.)

Except this train ain't moving any farther down the line, and it's the rich folks in the fancy dining car that are stuck. ^_^

LOL! And it was!
I'm definitely hoping this comes to be CoT's answer to the Ghost Ship. And I do hope it's a zone event rather than a mission, arc, or trial. It's got halloween painted all over it!
But halloween is but once a year. Maybe a convoluted way to summon the train like "kill x Skuls from in-game 6pm to in-game 10pm" or "complete [medium-difficulty task force] at nighttime" or something along those lines. I think there should be a balance between letting it be so common it loses its touch, and so rare it feels like an easter egg.
On that note, I almost think there shouldn't be more reward than a [badge] for this, otherwise it's prone to harvest and again, loses its touch.
So much potential!

Because of this line:
I'm sure it will be more than once a year. ^_^

Probably, although it'll be more railroaded.

*yawn* lore again?
Currently trapped inside the Speed Force...
I love spooky trains. I've heard many real-life ghost tales related to trains. Many men died building and operating the railroads.
My favorite eerie train is the one in Miyazaki's Spirited Away: faceless souls being carried from and to unknown places. Almost like an industrial-age Charon's ferry.

If you decide to create any advertisements for the game based around the "Black Train", I will allow you to use my song, "Black Train", as part of it completely free of charge, should you so choose.

It may be the last train from Clarkstown, as opposed to from Clarksville, but we can still meet it at the station.

Would be even spookier if it was a masquerade party. Get those ghostly masked figures look!

Scary! (:<
A Train with a lot of lost Souls on it. One of them has to be Don Cornelius! :)

C'mon man, I know guts and features in the game are probably more interesting to most, but at least admit this is a good piece of lore!

Not to mention there game event details in this lore. The Ghost Train will be a zone event (maybe more active during the halloween season) that runs a path across the zone. Sometimes it be on the ground level other times in the air. There even mention the train stops from time to time to drop of spirit passengers that would roam the zone. Yeah it's lore but Lore about an event we will take part in!

10 bucks says the train heads all the way down to Georgia.

To be fair, I get the same reaction when they talk about game mechanics. When they explain it, my mind instantly goes into just tell me:
Me:Can I smash things?
In my mind a dev goes: yes
Me: Can I smash stuff over someone's head that is not part of the pavement?
Dev: Um..yeah
Me: When I slot, will it be easy for kid to understand?
Dev: Oh yeah. You can...
Me: ehh..No details. It will just make me think of flow charts.
You get the idea. When they say keep it simple stupid. I am the stupid one needs it simple.

Evolution is key. And mutants are key.
I actually think of the following:

Blitzkreiger - SecLevel 50 Mutant Incarnate Blaster
I have to admit I *love* seeing people speedrun FF6. And suplexing the train is an excellent thing. Even better is when you accidentally suplex yourself...
Love the story line, it would be a great instance that you can board and become a ghost battling your way to either crash with the train derailment or "survive" ? The spirits want to keep you there to suffer the same fate.
It would be nice to see it appear in the town periodically as an NPC and not part of the instance as well.
So the Seats inside the train become translucent? and the train walls just a bit wider... optical illusion as soon as you enter a train car? ;)
