The tracks through Rockford

Michigan · United States · Mine

Two girls were sitting on the line when a train came. People walking this stretch at night report laughter and breathing.

A stretch of railway runs through Rockford, Michigan, and the accounts from it come from people walking the line at night.

They describe shadowy figures, laughter, and breathing.

The story attached is that two girls were sitting on the tracks when a train came through and killed them both.

No record has been found and no names survive with it, which is what you would expect of a legend and not what you would expect of a real double fatality in a small Michigan town.

The practical point matters more than the story here. Young people do sit on railway lines, all over the country, and are killed doing it every year. Modern trains are far quieter than people expect and cannot stop. Whatever the origin of this account, the warning inside it is a real one.

The line is active and walking it is both illegal and dangerous.
