   There are a number of animes where spirits or ghosts travel on a train. Does   
   anyone know the source of this? Is it from Japanese literature or a common   
   source?   
      
   Grave of the Fireflies: The ghosts of two children travel via train visiting   
   the last two months of their lives   
      
   Paranois Agent: Three characters fail at suicide and eventually they visit   
   far away places via a train. They do not realize that they are already   
   ghosts   
      
   Evangelion: Shinji during third impact (and other dream states) travels by   
   train with other characters who confront him. At one point, a wounded Toji   
   is also on the train and observes Shinji & Auska arguing.   
      
   A Chinese Ghost Story (havent seen it myself, but I found a reference to   
   "reincarnation train").   
      
   Spirited Away, Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Galaxy Railways - nuff said!
