The Other Side of the Tracks is a 2008 independent romantic fantasy film by Argentine-born writer-director A.D. Calvo, starring Brendan Fehr, Chad Lindberg, and Tania Raymonde.

Plot

Ten years after a tragic train accident killed his girlfriend, Josh finds himself haunted by disturbing visions from somewhere between the world of the living and the dead—haunting memories that keep him from moving on. His buddy, back in town for their high school reunion, tries to wake Josh from his painful past, but a mysterious young waitress offers a seductive alternative.
