The Ghost Train of Ely

For the first time in Ghost Adventures history, the crew investigates a moving train (!) that is notorious for its passenger ghosts. Welcome to the Ghost Train of Ely.

Welcome to Ely

The guys arrive in Ely, Nevada, a town of less than 5,000 people. Ely was founded back in 1878 by J.W. Long, who discovered gold in the area. Following the discovery, the town became a stagecoach stop for the Pony Express.

Nevada Northern Railway Depot

In 1906, things really started to pick up for the small town when copper was uncovered. One of Ely’s main hubs: the Nevada Northern Railway Depot, home of the Ghost Train of Ely.

Dangerous Job

In the Old West, the most dangerous job you could have was working in a mine — but working on the railroad was a close second. A total of 18 deaths have been recorded, with several deaths standing out as particularly violent and gruesome in nature.

Safety First

"Safety first" is a mantra that covers the historic Nevada Northern Railway. The message feels especially poignant given the number of tragic deaths that have happened here.

All Aboard

This steam-engine passenger train is the latest lockdown location for the Ghost Adventures crew.

Historic Route

The train travels the historic tracks between Ely and the Robinson mining district going through two tunnels and up a mountain grade. The ride lasts 90 minutes.

Strange Happenings

Mark has been the president of the Nevada Northern Railway for 18 years. When he first started working there he was told about a ghost named Bob. Naturally, he was skeptical, but then he had his first encounter with the spirit when he felt like he was being watched at his desk. He turned to see a face looking in on him from outside of the second-story window.

Witnesses Speak Out

Con says he was sitting on the steps of the engine when he saw a man in bib overalls and an engineer’s cap walk out of the locker room and into the machine shop with no lights on. (But there was no one there…)

Boiler Room Spirits

Lennox's most profound experience happened inside the machine shop. He was at the wash-up sink alone when the door to the boiler room flew open on one side of the room about 50 feet away.

Bizarre Sounds

Mike's first bizarre experience happened when he heard Engine 93 crossing Lackawanna Road. It’s a distinct sound — all employees know the rumblings the different engines make. But, he thought it was odd because the engine shouldn’t be there now. He walked outside to look and there was no train.

Solo Investigation

Kurt, an engineer, decided to investigate the place for himself. He says in the engine house and machine shop he feels like there’s a presence always watching him.
