In Dead Rails, the Ghost Train stands out as the newest addition, requiring a substantial investment of 325 Bonds. Initially resembling an illuminated Passenger Train, its real strength lies in its unique ability. Any foes defeated near it (excluding horses) resurrect briefly as allies, striking other enemies before disappearing. Beyond aesthetics, this locomotive can escalate a simple town battle into a haunted battalion charge.
