Overall this is only a fair book as far as the ghost stories go and although no aficionado of ghost stories will want to pass this work up, they shouldn't expect much in the way of details. Train buffs on the other hand will I think find this to be an excellent collection of railroad lore. I grew up in a railroad town and I must admit that the train lover in me found this book to be very appealing.

If you like ghost stories, this is definitely a fine collection, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

However, I DON'T like ghost stories. Unfortunately, I had not yet realized this when a friend of mine lent me this book in fifth grade. And now I kind of regret reading it - but only because I don't like scary things.
