Seven train robbers. One haunted locomotive. All aboard for terror.

In the spring of 1903, locomotive 311, known as the Majestic, carried more than one hundred passengers toward a tunnel through the underbelly of the Canadian Rockies. But then the mouth of the tunnel swallowed the 311 whole, and the train—and everyone on it—was never seen again. Seven years later, a gang of cattle thieves and cutthroats wait on horseback for a train car full of railway cash—a payroll they intend to steal. What they will discover, however, is that the approaching train isn’t the 5409. It’s the missing 311, a train only whispered about around dying campfires. A train that some believe still rides the iron rails, traveling to places no mortal should ever go, seeing things no one should ever see.

Acclaimed horror writer Keith C. Blackmore etches an unsettling new entry in the annals of the American West. And like the haunted train itself, this one never stops.

It's a strange listen, but is enjoyable. Some very interesting environments I wish had been further explored but overall a fun listen.

An enjoyable one off.

An enjoyable tale that keeps up its momentum throughout and reminds me of time bandits except with cowboys.
It had the feeling of a book that would transition to film or series very easily and I'm sure would be a big hit.

A good paced story that thunders on like the 311!

So the idea of cowboy train robbing gone wrong had me hooked, love things like that and the narrator does a very good job. I feel like, story wise, it's maybe a mishmash of different ideas, there were quite a few loose ends that weren't tied up and there were a few points where I didn't know what was going on. I guess with a haunted train you can let the imagination run wild but it became sci-fy for a long while and then just jumped back.
It was a fairly interesting listen but I think if it wasn't for Bray's voice I wouldn't have finished it.

Narrated very well, story was a bit odd.

This is not my usual genre but RC Bray is always a draw. So I took a chance with this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Suspend your belief and enjoy some good old fashioned storytelling. Would recommend.

It’s a western with a difference…cattle rustlers, a disappeared train, mutant passengers a snake plus an Archie are just some of the treats to explore within this book. It’s over the top, holds your attention, the moons a balloon…whalers… Just buy it and listen…if you know the authors other work then you know what your getting…R C Bray hits it out of the field…brilliant!
