The Ghost Train, or Zarok's Train, was a vehicle that ran along a railway track. It was created by Zarok for use in his City of Madness.
History
14th century
Sir Daniel Fortesque found the Ghost Train on his quest to defeat Zarok in 1386. He successfully managed to open the way to Zarok's Lair and used the train to get there.[1]
19th century
A similar train appeared in Kensington and the London Underground during the Autumn of Death in 1886.[2] It is uncertain whether this was the same train or a recreation.
Behind the scenes
Development
Design
The face on the front of the Train's smokebox may be inspired by the look of the trains in Thomas & Friends. A piece of concept art of the Train appears on a MediEvil 2 press kit which lacks a face on the smokebox door. It is uncertain whether this piece of art was made for the original MediEvil or MediEvil 2, as its design between the two games remains mostly identical.
MediEvil (1998 original)
The Ghost Train was originally set to appear in The Great Machine, a level centred around climbing the eponymous machine. The Train would have allowed Dan to access the structure from various sides.
Name
The Train was referred to as the Ghost Train in a captioned promotional trailer for the first MediEvil. In the game itself, the Train is only ever referred to as a "Train." However, other trains do appear in the MediEvil games. As such, the name Ghost Train is used here to distinguish this Train from other trains.
