* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** The Phantom Train in ''Videogame/FinalFantasyVI'' acts as a {{Psychopomp}} of sorts, transporting the souls of the recently dead to the afterlife. Sabin Cyan and Shadow inadvertently end up as passengers as one point, and must fight their way off to return to the world of the living. (edit: just realised someone already added this)
** Doomtrain in ''Videogame/FinalFantasyVIII'' is a secret [[SummonMagic Guardian Force]] acquired [[GuideDangIt through a sidequest vaguely hinted at by some in-game magazines]].  It appears as a steam train with a ghoulish looking face sticking out of the front, and its summon attack, Runaway Train, has it crash into enemies, inflicting poison damage and StandardStatusEffects.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', Arnold and his friend investigate the Legend of Engine 25, about a train piloted by a mad engineer which takes its passengers to the fiery heart of the underworld. It turns out be a DoubleSubversion: There's a real Engine 25, an industrial train which stops at a steel mill, and all the supernatural phenomena Arnold witnesses have perfectly rational explanations, but after Arnold concludes it's an urban myth, [[RealAfterAll the audience is shown the train leaving the steel mill with the ghost of the engineer riding on its front]].
