Edward’s Ghost Engine

Edward‘s Ghost Engine, named as such because Edward was the first train to spread the word about it, is possibly a supernatural Engine who returns every year on either Halloween (October 31) or the day before (October 30) to find his lost whistle at the smelter’s yards. He also appears to blow out glowing red steam from his funnel rather than the normal white color.

Original Debut
It was referenced in a story Edward told the others one Halloween. Thomas later teased Percy, saying Percy thought it was real, but he learned his lesson after remaining behind at the Smelters to take a special load and thinking that some chains touching his cab were ghostly fingers. He then believed that a whistle in the shed was the ghost's lost whistle, forcing him to race out of the smelters, frightened.

LOTM Storyline
Some years later, the Alphas (from DRAMAtical Murder) had been found dead after being destroyed by Clear when he sang his jellyfish song and were soon rebuilt. But before they could sing dye music to it, the Ghost engine passed them at a level crossing and completely traumatized them with its deafening whistle. They have since had many hallucinations and nightmares while charging themselves in bed at night, and have been unable to properly sing dye music at all............
