They all thought they were going to die. All 1,500 of them, both passengers and crew on the Black Unicorn, a cruise ship in the Caribbean. In a separate incident, 500 people trapped in a hotel fire feared it was the end for them as well. And out in Jackson, Wyoming, up in the Rockies in the Grand Tetons, an avalanche threatened the lives of 100 more. Survivors from these events, which could have had devastating consequences, had one thing in common-they were all rescued by the Ghost Train, a train that could go anywhere and everywhere. Money and greed killed the romance of the rails, but could the implementation of high-speed rail rekindle the romance? Yes, if money and greed would get out of the way. As long as the me-first mentality is in the forefront, gridlock will remain on this issue. But what if there were a high-speed train that could take you anywhere you wanted to go and you didn't need to have power or money to get on board? What if all you had to do was dream? Such is the case with the Ghost Train. Where would you like to go? The Old West, back in time in outer space? Come along for the ride, stay for the adventure.
