The Reputed Phenomena: People report hearing the sound of a phantom train whistle in an area where the railroad has not been in decades.
The Investigation: The original Peck Station has been converted into a private home. In the backyard sits an original Northern Pacific Railway
caboose. The railroad tracks are long gone, and the trains have not passed through this region in many decades. We were unable to find anyone who could provide a firsthand account of having heard the phantom train.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! Be aware that the former Peck Station is
private property and under constant surveillance. TRESPASSING IS A CRIME! UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS FOUND ON THIS PROPERTY WILL BE SUBJECT TO ARREST AND PROSECUTION! If you have any information that could lead to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for trespassing, please call the Walworth County Sheriff's Department (non-emergency) at (262) 741-4400 or Elkhorn Police Department
(non-emergency) at (262) 723-2210
Comments for Elkhorn, Wisconsin - Peck Station Road
I live near there too. Not the wind. I thought it was the trolley that I heard. And my horse doesn't want to go near where the tracks used to be.

The whistling you hear is from the wind sailing through the ears of the empty headed caretaker of the property

P.S. That caboose was brought in and has no relation to the original train station whatsoever. The whistle is the wind across the open land!!!!

This should be taken off your site. I believe in ghosts, but this is my Grandparent's home and I have spent a good portion of my life here. I also played on those tracks when I was a child. None of us have ever had any experiences here. This is completely false!
