Driving rhythmic patterns and a brisk tempo are at the center of this eerie musical journey on a fictitious phantom train. Haunting melodic lines along with moments of discord paint a vivid picture of a doomed phantom juggernaut in eternal search of a final destination. Climb aboard and take a ride-if you dare!

Written in an exciting programmatic style, this piece is based on folklore surrounding the derailment and crash of a turn-of-the-century passenger train in North Carolina. The descriptive and creative writing of Ed Huckeby make this story come alive through the sounds of the train and driving rhythms which imitate the locomotive. With creative changing meter, syncopation and dramatic rhythmic drive, contrasted with the flowing melodic lines of the introduction and interlude, this piece is a real winner for concert or contest performance.
