When is a train not a train? When it’s a phantom! In "The Phantom Express,” from 1932, the number of train accidents taking place is becoming alarming. The engineers are claiming that they are seeing a train on their track, come straight at them, leading to them applying the brakes and leading to derailment. But: there’s no train actually there. This poverty row thriller/whodunit offers some surprises and ingenuity as well as the cutest model train set ever. Get aboard with Mike and Amber for the details on this film as well as too many train puns.
