Description There's another Fantasy Land & Happy Place Railroad ghost train that some people know about, and that is FL&HPRR 666. Built during the mass production of the Admiral Pacific class, #666 was a cursed engine similar to 2-8-0 #13, having killed various workers over the years and had been involved in many different wrecks and accidents. One such accident included being stuck inside of a long tunnel just near the portal to the real world, killing nearly all the passengers onboard from carbon monoxide poisoning, and even making a cameraman stumble into the path of a fast commuter train while taking an official photograph of her and her sister engines. Many engineers and firemen feared the Pacific and even the roundhouse foremen refuse to have her parked inside their own roundhouses, leaving her out in the weather.

One night though, the AP 4-6-2 was assigned to haul The Real World Flyer, a fast passenger train that runs from New Baton to the real world, due to one of the locomotives suffering a broken side rod. Everything went smoothly, as if the engine's curse was a hoax or a make believe story to the crew operating her. But bad luck was to happen. One last time on the big Pacific. 

A heavy snowstorm had affected the mountains outside of Coalport for most of the day, leaving the tracks completely covered in a thick layer of ice and snow. No sooner had the snowplow crew had finished clearing the track, another snowstorm would hit. So they eventually gave up and began to make their way back to the nearest yard, unaware that The Flyer was coming towards them. As the snowplow crew were about to have some nice delicious hot chocolate in the bunk cars, the 666 hits the train's rear end at 30 MPH, completely destroying the caboose and some of the bunk cars in front of it while sending the fast Pacific off a steep bank and into the icy waters below. The passenger cars followed behind it, with only 6 of the 13 full coaches going down into the water. If the passengers didn't freeze to death by the icy waters, then they would've been crushed by the weight of the coaches or burn to death by the fire from the stoves inside the coaches and the bunk cars. As for the locomotive and tender, it sank deep into the water, never to be recovered again.

When the wreck was cleared and service resumed, people began to hear about the story about #666 and soon began to hear various ghost sightings of the engine all over Fantasy Land. If one were to hear a deep whistle in the dark night and the rumbling of a train coming, odds are it could be a normal train making a late night run or The Devil's Engine 666 traveling down the line with a string of coaches, carrying those who lost their lives to the jinxed Pacific. May they all rest in peace and hopefully the cursed engine doesn't cause any trouble to anyone.

I see you've referenced Fantasy Island that I watched in cinema yesterday. That was horrifying. X(

This is actually much different than that movie. You see, Fantasy Land is what I call my happy place (don't have a better name ), where all of the things that make me happy take place. Such as animated movie and cartoon characters, video game characters and so on, and of course trains. It's kinda like Ready Player One or even something out of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

I would imagine having a newer train, a new 4-10-10-4, by the name of Colossus, which has upgrades more than any other train possible.
