The Bride of Pinacate

A Haunted Railway Experience

Do you know the tale of the Bride of Pinacate?  Did you know she haunts the Southern California Railway Museum and has for over 135 years? It begins where it ended in 1885, when a young, widowed bride, distraught with grief, walked the rails searching for her departed husband.  Tragedy transpired again when the bride was struck down right there on the tracks, near where her home still stands today.  Our engineers and conductors know her well as she walks the route, wailing in grief, in search of her long-lost love.

“Women weep
And men turn to stone
On All Hallows’ Eve
When the Widow roams

She waits by the tracks
Beckoning souls to follow
She rides a phantom train
To pain and sorrow

If you hear the whistle blowing
Close your eyes, count to ten
Her siren song is on the wind
The Bride of Pinacate comes again”
