I Shared this in the last greentext thread, but might as well post it here, too rite >June 2008. Night fishing on Texas coast with my dad >On a pier with a hotel on it. Had night fishing trips there for years at this point >Very calm night waves low, moon very bright, possibly a full moon but I can't remember clearly >Time rolls around to 2am >Somewhere in the distance, we both hear what sounds like the whistle of a steam locomotive >Dad compares it to the train Astroworld used to have >Drones on for 2-3 minutes before fading away >Obviously not a normal train since diesels are ubiquitous >Thought it could've come from the oil refineries, except they were too far away to hear anything that clearly from them >Remember that in 1900, the huge hurricane trapped a train and flooded its cars with storm surges, killing everyone inside >Local story is that you can hear the train in the dead of night, but only when another large storm will hit the island soon >Fast forward to September later that year >Hurricane Ike makes landfall and fucks up the coastline. The hotel of that pier was totaled by the storm and was later demolished >Never heard any similar-sounding whistles again in future fishing trips Something interesting to note is that both that 1900 storm and Ike were Category 4 hurricanes, and both made landfall in September within close proximity to each other (Sept. 8th & Sept. 13th). I also tried looking up other accounts of the ghost train, but I got nothing aside from my own foggy memories of summer camp where I was first told about it. I did find articles talking about an actual train that got stuck and was flooded such as this one here. That island is known for a lot of local hauntings (including its railroad museum, funny enough), but this is the only real inexplicable experience I had there.
