In the woods at Summit Township in Butler County, Pennsylvania, out where the old railway ran, people report the voices of children playing at night.

In the early dawn a whistle is heard. There are no working railways in the area.

Additional information was filed in March 2008.

Abandoned railway beds run through a great deal of rural Pennsylvania, and they are among the most consistently reported landscapes in the state. A line that carried coal and passengers for decades and then simply stopped leaves a corridor through the woods that goes somewhere nobody walks to any more.

The old grade is on wooded ground and much of it is private.
