Textures by picmonkey and Luana for LG @ www.deviantart.com It was early in the fall and a blowin' up a squall From the trestle you could hear the weirdest moans With a mighty lonesome cry came a whistle from the sky And it chilled the very marrow in my bones Then a loud rushing roar like you never heard before Turned the blood to icy water in my veins As I watched with rising fear something strange was drawing near And I saw in the clouds ghost trains (Ghost trains ghost trains what a fearful sight) The Cannonball and No 9 were racing through the night Just as they passed me by I heard the engineer cry Give her coal give her coal shovel it on You could see the fireman grinning in the engine that was winning But I knew before the finish they'd be gone (Well he knew before the finish they'd be gone) You could see the drivers roll as they shoveled on the toll And the black smoke came pouring from the stacks As they thundered through the sky I am here to testify You could hear the wheels a clickin' on the tracks Through the smoke and the steam you could see the headlights gleam Now I have no proof but still the fact remains You may doubt it but I swear there were cinders in my hair When I saw in the clouds ghost trains (Ghost trains ghost trains what a fearful sight) The Cannonball and No 9 were racing through the night Just as they passed me by I heard the engineer cry Give her coal give her coal shovel it on You could see the fireman grinning in the engine that was winning As I watched I saw them fade into the dawn (As he watched he saw them fade into the dawn) f

The prototype locomotive, Great Western, was built as a 2-2-2 locomotive in April 1846, but was soon converted to a 4-2-2 arrangement. The remainder of the class entered service between April 1847 and July 1855. Locomotives of the Iron Duke class were extremely fast and had an estimated top speed of about 80 mph (133 km/h). They were used to haul the Flying Dutchman express train which, for several decades, was the world's fastest train. In 1852 the daily service from London Paddington Station to Exeter (194 miles) was achieved with an average speed of 53 mph (88 km/h); with the flatter section between London and Swindon covered at an average speed of 59 mph [1]. From about 1865, the Iron Duke Class was known as the Alma Class. In May to July 1870, three locomotives (Great Britain, Prometheus and Estaffete) were extensively rebuilt with new frames and boilers, but retaining their original names. Following these, further locomotives were built to similar specifications, entering service between August 1871 and July 1888. These new locomotives are generally referred to as the Rover class. Although these locomotives took the names of withdrawn locomotives of the original design, they were not rebuilt from them like the first three, but entirely new locomotives (though it is believed that Rover, Swallow and Balaklava may have included some parts from the earlier locomotives of those names).

Number 4468 Mallard is a London and North Eastern Railway Class A4 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive built at Doncaster, England in 1938. Mallard was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley as an express locomotive specially built to power high-speed streamlined trains. Its wind-tunnel-tested, aerodynamic body allowed it to reach speeds of over 100 mph (160 km/h). Mallard was in service until 1963, when it was retired, having covered almost one and a half million miles (2.4 million km). It was restored to working order in the 1980s, but has not operated since, apart from hauling some specials between York and Scarborough in July 1986 and a couple of runs between York and Harrogate/Leeds around Easter 1987. Mallard is now part of the National Collection at the United Kingdom's National Railway Museum in York. On the weekend of the 5th of July 2008, Mallard was taken outside for the first time in years and displayed alongside her A4 sisters, thus reuniting all four A4s extant in the UK for the first time since preservation. The locomotive is 70 ft long and weighs 165 tons, including the tender. It is painted LNER garter blue with red wheels and steel rims.

The Shinkansen is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan operated by four Japan Railways Group companies. Since the initial Tōkaidō Shinkansen opened in 1964 running at 210 km/h (130 mph), the network (2,459 km or 1,528 miles) has expanded to link most major cities on the islands of Honshū and Kyūshū with running speeds of up to 300 km/h (188 mph), in an earthquake- and typhoon-prone environment. Test run speeds have been 443 km/h (275 mph) for conventional rail in 1996, and up to a world record of 581 km/h (361 mph) for maglev trainsets in 2003.

In Europe, many long-distance inter-urban trains are operated under the InterCity (Intercity, or often simply IC) brand. The term InterCity originated with British Rail's InterCity sector, but it went out of official use in the UK following privatisation.

The London and North Western Railway (LNWR) Improved Precedent Class or "Jumbo" Class is a class of 2-4-0 steam locomotive originally designed for express passenger work. They were designed by F.W. Webb. 166 were built at Crewe Works from 1887 to 1901. One, 790 Hardwicke has been preserved as part of the National Railway Collection and is currently a static exhibit in the National Railway Museum in York. On August 22nd, 1895, London North Western Railway LNWR train with Precedent No. 790 Hardwicke 2-4-0 needed 2 h 06 min for the 141 miles run from Crewe to Carlisle, with an average speed of 67,1 mph = 112 km/h, setting up a new speed record during the race to the north.
