Ghosts & Trains

Friday and Saturday evenings, through September 4, 2010, come ride the Ghost Train at 9:00. Let the good times roll. 

Start your evening with FREE Jefferson Ghost Stories at the depot at 8:00. The Ghost Train departs from the “haunted” depot and carries you deep through the dark woods along the Bayou, sharing tales that will make you reach for your loved ones!

The day train will depart at 2:30 and 4:30 on Saturday.

The train rolls right by the home of the Boggy Creek monster as depicted in the upcoming feature horror movie, “Boggy Creek”, filmed in Jefferson and Uncertain. The movie is loosely based on the old Big Foot or Sasquatch legends, says Brian T. Jaynes, director and producer. Click here for more information or click here to view the movie trailer.

The train was built in 1964 for Six Guns Territory in Florida and moved to Jefferson in 1986. It is a Crown Metals reproduction of the 1870’s American class 4-4-0 steam locomotive christened the Robert E. Lee and known as Engine #7. The open car coach seats still carry the custom medallions cast into them designed especially for the Six Guns amusement park.
