THE TRAIN VANISHED – AND SO DID THE TRACKS! A Ghost Train Mystery?

“The Lost Special” centers around the baffling disappearance of a privately hired train (“a special”) during its run from Liverpool to London. The train, carrying just a handful of individuals, vanishes inexplicably after passing a junction—it doesn’t show up where it should, and neither the tracks nor the train can be found. | #RetroRadio EP0495Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateCHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:30.028 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “My Wife Doesn’t Understand Me” (October 11, 1976)00:45:26.746 = Strange Wills, “So Deep Stream” (September 28, 1946)01:15:10.439 = Strange, “Deadman’s Reef” (1955) ***WD01:27:15.389 = Suspense, “The Lost Special” (September 30, 1943) ***WD01:56:44.491 = Tales Of The Frightened, “Dr. Harvey Cushing” (1957)02:01:03.980 = The Saint, “Carnival Murder” (February 04, 1951) ***WD02:30:20.957 = Theater Five, “Captive Spirit” (October 16, 1964)02:51:49.891 = Theater 1030, “Trespassers Will Be Experimented Upon” (1968-1971) ***WD03:22:25.775 = 2000 Plus, “Insect” (May 17, 1950) ***WD03:51:49.648 = The Unexpected, “Eavesdropper” (1948)04:06:27.949 = Unsolved Mysteries, “Toll Bridge” (1936) ***WD04:20:54.279 = Dark Venture, “Hideout” (January 07, 1947) ***WD04:44:27.859 = Weird Circle, “Executioner” (November 19, 1944)05:11:52.842 = Show Close(ADU) = Air Date Unknown(LQ) = Low Quality***WD = Remastered, edited, or cleaned up by Weird Darkness to make the episode more listenable.
