Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
 * The Light at the End of the Tunnel...
 * An unearthly whistle in the distant night signals the arrival of the ghost train known only as the Midnight Express. Cobbled together from the remains of train wrecks spanning the ages, the train provides the only reliable means of safe passage through the Tempest to virtually any destination in the Shadowlands.


 * Is the Midnight Express!
 * Controlled by Ferrymen, the Midnight Express winds through the Tempest nightly, bringing wraiths to destinations across the Shadowlands. Its strict neutrality maintained by the Ferrymen, it has become a popular meeting place for members of rival factions withtin wraith society. But the Ferrymen also use the train as a means of finding those interested in a far different kind of journey - that toward Transcendence.
