The Mystery Of The Phantom Train

 In the 1970's for two days straight at 2:30 in the morning people heard a train going through their small town ,but the thing was they had no tracks in that town.  The phantom train was not heard for the next two months, but after the two months the train was heard again
and again it was at  2:30 in the morning.

Well it was someone playing a joke this person (I am not saying who--lol) had a Hi-Fi stereo sound effects cassette tape and was playing it  full volume while riding his bicycle in sync with the sound .At that time this small town had no security lights and was almost pitch black.

At 2:30 in the morning here is what the town's people heard "WOOO WOOO  ! cluck-a-lug cluck-a-lug".This guy (whoever he was--lol) plan it just before it rains maybe to erase his bicycle tracks.

Yep, he went through this small town for two days straight and then quit.He figured the authorities  would have  the town under surveillance for at least the next two months .After the two months this prankster started in again for one day only and again at 2:30 in the morning after ward he had quit forever.

The town's people had no idea how they heard a train at 2:30 in the morning ,especially since they had no railroad tracks ,but they did put up a sign at the entrace of their town saying "Home Of The Phantom Train"  read on..

Below is a clip of the sound effect (audio only) 30 seconds except the prankster's cassette tape was much louder along with Wooo W000 and bells and whistles. Also the prankster did not stay stationary he kept riding his bicycle matching the speed of a train to complete the illustion.
