The Journey, The Band, The Venue .
308 Ghost Train is an original rock act and Music Venue located in Palmetto, Florida with a sound based in the best of rock’s past and an uplifting and inspiring message for the people of today. 308 Ghost Train makes music for music fans of all ages who’ve become disenfranchised with current artists and long for music with more substance than style. The new EP, Born In The Wild was released on June 18th, 2019, featuring five songs.
308 Ghost Train was founded by POSI Award-winning songwriter and vocalist Anthony “Train” Caruso, an intense and deeply spiritual performer. He pulled the name 308 Ghost Train, from the Gospel of John 3:08 (“The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”), the Holy Ghost that moves in Caruso’s heart, and the unstoppable vehicle whose name he carries. The music he writes carries a message of inclusion, spirituality, positivity, hope, and patriotism that our world needs and Caruso feels that the wind has been pushing him towards this project his whole life. Even though the backing musicians can vary, The Ghost and Train remain constant. Regardless this versatile outfit has helped 308 Ghost Train draw comparisons to John Fogerty/CCR, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, and John Mellencamp. His sound is organic and timeless, built upon artistry and the human experience.

The meaning.
John 3:08 describes the Spirit as being like the wind – and it blows where it pleases, no one knows when or where it comes from or goes but its in everyone born of the spirit. The Ghost refers to the Holy Spirit. Train is lead singer, Anthony Caruso's nickname. Train feels that God is directing and moving him on this musical journey – down this particular "track" –because He, in turn, wants Train to move his listeners with his music and the messages he brings to them.
There is also a double meaning in the name. The visual of an actual train infers a moving vessel that is inclusive, in that it is large enough to have enough seats to accommodate anyone that wants to come aboard.
308 GHOST TRAIN's music and messages are inclusive, with melodies and rhythms that are energetically infectious and with lyrics that promote unity, positivity, inspiration, spirituality, and patriotism.
