A passenger train in North Carolina said to be making up for lost time in the early hours of the morning lurched off a 60-foot tall bridge and into the creek below on Aug. 27, 1891 — 128 years ago.
Now on the anniversary of the wreck, people swear the “ghost train” and its long-dead specters can be seen on the tracks at Bostian Bridge just outside Statesville.
