STATESVILLE, NC (WBTV) - A man who was with about a dozen people who were looking for a legendary "ghost train" in Iredell County was hit by a locomotive and killed early Friday morning.
The incident happened on a train trestle at 2:45 a.m. near the 900 block of Buffalo Shoals Road.
Robin Chapman, a spokesperson for Norfolk-Southern Railroad, said the eastbound train consisted of three locomotives and no freight cars.
The train was rounding a curve and approaching a trestle over Boston Creek just prior to Buffalo Shoals Road when it struck a man on the trestle, Chapman said.
This might be the story.

I’m from Ohio, so it’s just a guess using Google...
Irony?
I guess this answers the age old question, “if a train is coming at you and you refuse to believe it is there, will it still kill you?
Yes.
I was hoping it was the entire crew of “Ghost Hunters” from the Syfy channel........I hate that phony show
I see dead trains.
Heck, he's trying to find it so he can get the passengers to vote in the next round.
Well the place might be haunted now.
Ghost Hunters isn’t the show where they get scared and run around like the three stooges LOL, its the show on the travel channel where they do that. On GH they get to see all the spooks but the viewer never gets to see them.
Will his ghost get hit by the ghost train?
I belive the old show "Amazing Stories" had an episode about a ghost train...it was produced(?)by Speilberg...actually was pretty good.
"Did you see THAT?!?" (no)
"Something just moved down there!" (no it didn't)
"A hand just touched my head!" (no it didn't)
"Do you hear THAT?!?" (no)
Now he’ll be riding the ghost train forever.
Ghost Train? I thought he said Goat Train! Baaaad!
Next week, a bunch of ghost hunters will be out looking for the ghost of the guy who was killed looking for the ghost train.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Hunting ghost trains? He must have thought he was on the right track.

How discriminating of you. I’ve come to hate the entire SyFy channel. And yes, that includes ‘Eureka’.
It would seem that he now has found the ghost train Unforunately, all tickets are one way.
What we have here is a case of a one track mind on the wrong track, at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
Would not just two, but three, wrongs make a right?
