Ghost Train is a children's picture book by Chinese-Canadian historian and writer Paul Yee.

The story, first published in Canada, is told through the eyes of a young girl, Choon-yi, born to poor peasants in southern China.

She has only one arm, and her mother rejects her, but her father loves her dearly and encourages her artistic gift.

The full-page paintings show her traveling on the hurtling engines; they represent the power of the railroad and the sorrow of the men who died building it, their clothing stained with mud and blood.

[1] Ghost Train was adapted as a play by Betty Quan and performed by the Young People's Theatre in Toronto in 2001.
