A bureaucrat with nothing special about him discovers he's the only person who can see a ghost train that breaks reality, and suddenly every faction wants to own him. The mystery isn't really a mystery, it's watching an ordinary man realize he's become a weapon, and the people chasing him don't care if he survives the knowing. An 80s OVA that moves fast enough to slip between genres before you can pin it down, leaving you with the specific dread of being hunted for something you never asked for.

Toru Ishihara is an ordinary young man with an unsteady romance and a boss who is obsessed with railways, so trains are never far from his thoughts. Then a phantom train called the X Train starts tearing through Tokyo's rail network, wrecking everything in its way. Toru turns out to be a latent esper, partly linked to the X Train without knowing it, and ruthless people who see profit in weapons built on that psychic power take notice. This single OVA blends comedy, mystery and supernatural science fiction.
