Dungarvon Whooper
Many people do think that there was a ghost. This ghost was so well known that a train was later named for him. The train ran from Quarryville to Newcastle. On one of the train’s first runs, it was bringing men from the lumber camps. Each time the train’s whistle sounded, the men would whoop and yell. When the train got to Newcastle, Conductor Vye was asked the name of the train. He gave it the name, “The Dungarvon Whooper.”
