Ghost Train in Iowa

I was coming home from a long-earned vacation. We stopped at a hotel with train tracks in the rear. I was in the room where the tracks ran next to it. I watched a freight train pass that was supposed to be the last train of the day.

Few minutes before midnight, I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. So I decided to look outside for a while.

When I saw my watch strike midnight, I looked back outside and saw the signal light turn green. Then I heard a loud steam whistle in the distance. There, chuffing slowly, was an old steam locomotive coming down the line.

It then vanished in front of me.

The next morning, I tell my family about everything I saw. They never heard anything, but my brother told me he heard something!
