Shorewood Ghost Train Debut Scheduled Halloween Night

SHOREWOOD -- 'The Ghost Train,' an artistic sensory experience to take place at the Oak Leaf Trail Bridge and Capitol Drive in Shorewood, will make its inaugural run on Monday, October 31 at 7 p.m.

This first-of-its-kind public art installation will enable visitors to travel back in history, imagining the round-trip journey of the 'Twin Cities 400' which was operated by the Chicago & North Western Railway and crossed that same location from 1935-1963.

The public is invited to attend the first run event which begins at 6 p.m. at the Oak Leaf Trail Bridge on Capitol Drive located near Culver's of Shorewood, 1325 E. Capitol Drive.

Through innovative lighting and sound technology, designer Marty Peck will create the allusion of a Ghost Train crossing the bridge twice each evening to recall the schedule, speed and drama of the passing of this historic 400 train. At other times the bridge will have a subtler artistic illumination. Both the Ghost Train and bridge lighting will be a permanent installation.
