Thirteen O'Clock Press released the anthology, "Lonesome Train." It contains my ghost story, "Last Train Through Pearson Switch."

Pearson Switch was originally a manually operated railroad switch. It was used to divert trains into the oil fields and some small towns in central Oklahoma . The small community near the switch  became known as Pearson Switch.

The railroad line was closed and the town was gone by the 1950s. The train tracks were salvaged, but for some reason the remains of the old switch gear weren't. It stood like a lonely sentinel rusting on the raised berm where the old tracks used to be.

Our scout troop camped nearby. We were forbidden from playing with old switch gear, which made it all the more attractive.
