Well gentlemen you can all speculate about Ghost trains but I think I saw one and it had a normal single large whitish yellow headlamp, mounted high up on the front of the engine. My mothers family owned a large sheep property in north west New South Wales called Wilga Mount. It was either at the start of WW2 or just before it. I was not old enough to go to school so iguess it was 1941 or so (Australia was in WW2 a long time before USA). My cousin Bill Jarvis owned an "A" model Ford Coupe (single seater with canvas roof) which was down. He had given my mother and me a lift back into town. It was a clear very bright moonlight night and the roads out there are dead straight for miles and miles. I could clearly see all the grey dead trees as I sat between the two adults, as the car drove along. We noticed what we thought was another car coming up behind us travelling very fast, As it got closer we pulled over a bit too let it pass but it still came up right behind us and Bill remarked it looks like and sounded like a steam engine; but this was out in the bush, no railway lines or anything like that. With a roar and a whoosh it passed right over us and disappeared straight ahead at ground level into the distance. Bill stopped the car and two shaken adults and one scared kid quietly talked it over and decided not to tell anyone about for a while. But we all agreed that we had seen the same thing. Looking into it later I thought it was a phenemon in NSW known as the MIn- Min light but it was not in the right place, it hangs out many miles away (Oz was not a metric country then) So it is right, ghost engines are black and they have a large white headlamd at least Aussie ones do.
