Publisher's Note A shivery, high-speed train ride has a supernatural twist. "An author's note briefly explains the background of the banshee and the role of Irish immigrants working on American railroads. More suspenseful than scary, this title should appeal to kids who enjoy stories about trains and ghosts".--School Library Journal. Full color.
Set in the mountains outside of Denver, a shivery tale about a train that is saved from certain disaster by the ghosts of a previous wreck.
