This is a less than 1/2-minute-long film of a locomotive pulling four cars around a turn. Why a ghost train? I hope I am not a spoiler when I tell you that it was done by developing the film as a negative. When projected; everything that is ordinarily white becomes black, while those usually black are white.
It was filmed by the Biograph company on January 5, 1901 and is worth a look just to see how technical innovation was beginning to creep into film production.
