For the life of me i cannot recall the name of this movie.I thought it was called "ghost Train" about a father and son who loved the railroads and they(the father ,son and grandson i believe)all live in the father's house which just happens to be built over a former right of way.One night the father goes into the kitchen or wherever and his son comes into the room at the same time and to their horror or delight they hear the sound of a locmotive horn or whistle.Suddenly through this house comes this huge train and an old fashioned type of conductor gets off the train and says"well John or whatever his name is "were waiting for you.But i don't have a ticket says the father and the conductor says to him "here i have one just for you" The father says goodbye to his son and grandson and the train passes out of sight and the house goes back to the way it was.If anyone remembers this beloved movie and knows where i can get it , ...well after explaining the story to my other railfans ,they want a copy as well.
