Who’s driving this thing? Could it be … vengeful spirits from the railroad’s past? (Photo: Old Threshers)
You’ll need to channel Thomas the Tank Engine and muster up your courage to ride the Ghost Train of No Return. (“I think I can … I think I can …”) The Midwest Central Railroad has organized the Midwest Haunted Rails for Halloween for more than 30 years in Mount Vernon and has teamed up with the Old Threshers to offer unlimited rides on a “ghostly trolley” and “haunted carousel.”
If you go for the final weekend, 6-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, head to McMillan Park. Then, after the rides, maybe you should venture into the nearby Thrashers House of Terror … if you dare.
