Haunted Railway Stations in the US
Railway stations often hold a mysterious allure, with their rich history and tales of the past. Some of these stations in the United States are believed to be haunted, with reports of ghostly apparitions, eerie sounds, and unexplained phenomena. Let's take a look at some of the haunted railway stations that have captured the imagination of locals and paranormal enthusiasts alike.
Union Station, Denver, Colorado: Union Station is not only a transportation hub but also rumored to be haunted. Visitors and employees have reported seeing shadowy figures and hearing disembodied voices within its historic walls.
Grand Central Terminal, New York City, New York: One of the busiest railway stations in the world, Grand Central Terminal has its share of ghostly legends. From the whispering ghost of a young girl to spectral figures wandering the platforms, it's a place where the past seems to linger.
Central Terminal, Buffalo, New York: This stunning Art Deco station, once a bustling hub, now stands abandoned and eerie. Many visitors claim to have witnessed apparitions and experienced strange phenomena in the dark corners of the building.
Southern Pacific Railroad Depot, Tucson, Arizona: Known for its paranormal activity, this former depot is said to be haunted by the ghost of a railroad worker who died during a tragic accident. Visitors have reported hearing phantom footsteps and seeing unexplained shadows.
Union Station, Kansas City, Missouri: Union Station has a haunting past, including the notorious massacre of four law enforcement officers during the Kansas City Massacre in 1933. Visitors have reported encounters with apparitions and strange happenings, adding to its haunted reputation.
The Depot, Minneapolis, Minnesota: Once a flourishing railway station, The Depot is now a hotel with a haunted past. Guests and staff have reported encounters with a ghostly woman believed to be a former employee.
Santa Fe Depot, San Diego, California: Built in 1915, this beautiful Spanish Colonial Revival-style station is rumored to be haunted by the spirit of a young woman who died tragically on the tracks. Some witnesses claim to have seen her ghostly figure wandering the platforms.
Louisville Union Station, Louisville, Kentucky: With its stunning architecture, this former railway station is said to be home to several spirits. From ghostly children playing in the hallways to the apparition of a woman in a flowing gown, it's a place where the supernatural is said to be active.
Michigan Central Station, Detroit, Michigan: This once-grand station, now abandoned, has gained a reputation for being haunted. Urban explorers and paranormal investigators have reported eerie encounters and captured unexplained phenomena on camera.
King Street Station, Seattle, Washington: This historic station is believed to be haunted by the ghost of a woman dressed in early 20th-century attire. Witnesses have reported seeing her apparition on the platforms and in the waiting area.
These haunted railway stations offer a glimpse into the past, where history and the supernatural intertwine. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, exploring these sites can provide a thrilling experience for those seeking a taste of the paranormal.

What’s Cooking
I suspect there will be many business books and case studies written in the years ahead chronicling the successes and failures resulting from COVID, not to mention the new trends it ushered in. While we were collectively trying to endure the ravages of a pandemic, taking a macro view was hardly the first thing on our minds.


But now we can take a look in the rear view and see that whole era, for better or for worse.

It was during COVID that meal delivery services like DoorDash and UberEats really took off. After all, they satisfied our urges for restaurant dining, but in the safety of our homes. COVID also accelerated an emerging trend that was already in place by 2019, but has now been propelled to prominence today.


Designed to work hand-in-glove with those delivery services is the notion of a ghost kitchen. It’s a topic I have written on before, but just gained a new participant this week with the announcement of Farmesa by Chipotle. Farmesa—a portmanteau of “farm” and “mesa”—will be a standalone brand that offers fast casual dining—at home, at least for now—with a menu built on tasty and healthy bowls. And the first outlet, in Santa Monica California, will co-share kitchen space at a nearby ghost kitchen.

In other words, if you want to give this a try at all, you have one choice: Use your app to order it, and wait patiently on your sofa.


Tumblr media
Ghost kitchens come in multiple varieties. The ones offered by Kitchens United are essentially like a food hall, but without seating. Farmesa will be based on Kitchen United’s 24th ghost kitchen. Facilities are rented and shared, and the delivery services return frequently to grab orders. They are a hub of busyness, with workers and drivers buzzing about, but without a customer to be seen.

And then there are similar ghost kitchens actually owned by DoorDash, which makes for a nice example of vertical integration. There are also corporately-owned kitchens like the one in Atlanta owned by Inspire Brands, which owns Arby’s, Jimmy Johns, Sonic, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dunkin, and others, and they are all available for delivery only from one central location.
Lastly, there are also the examples of seemingly fake chains that only show up on your apps, but are actually second brands owned by a major chain but housed in the same place. It allows them to make better use of their kitchens, and explore other menu concepts. The new Chase Elliott’s Chicken Tenders, owned by Hooter’s,  is a perfect example, although this one is done in sponsor relationship with the NASCAR driver. 

But you will never be able to purchase this brand inside a Hooter’s, even though menu items will be prepared in 196 of their outlets.
Ghost kitchens are the QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) analog of dark groceries, another COVID-fueled trend that found some chains, like Whole Foods and Kroger, repurposing existing stores, or, as in the case of Kroger re-entering the Florida market, building massive warehouses. Either way, you cannot simply walk in and buy things. You have to order them online.
The benefits of ghost kitchens are huge. Just like food halls allowed for shared expenses of facilities as well as seating, these can be located in light industrial areas where the real estate is much cheaper than building one-offs on busy city streets. Labor is less because you don’t have servers. The best part is that total risk is greatly reduced, because if the concept does not work, you simply terminate the agreement.
As for those ordering online, does anyone really care if their food came from a BAM restaurant, the kind they could have visited like in the old days? Of course not. Unless there is some innate experiential effect to be derived from dining inside a specific place, we are only interested in the food. And if we’re ordering on DoorDash, we’ve already provided evidence that the only thing going on is that we’re hungry. Now.


I can see a long chapter about ghost kitchens in those future books. Maybe I should start writing it. But then again, I may just watch this play out for a while. I suspect we’ll see fewer BAM restaurants in the years ahead, simply because we won’t need them.


And while I cannot lay credit or blame on a pandemic alone, I will say with certainty that it had a huge effect on this trend. We learned a lot during those years, among them being that delivery is good. Sorry, DiGiorno.

The Buffalo Central Terminal is an icon in Buffalo, NY. Used from 1929 until 1979. It was unfortunately sold for salvage at one point and now it’s slowly being restored.

Amtrak’s Maple Leaf passes Buffalo Central Terminal en route to Toronto, October 2019.  Although I don’t appreciate big intrusive watermarks or the facebook logo, this was such a nice view that I thought I’d pass it on.
