What is the main setting in the novel, Ghost Train?

The events of Ghost Train take place in and around a three-story house near railroad tracks and an old scrap yard that was once a shipyard for building liberty ships during World War II. The house, old and somewhat decayed, is owned by an elderly woman who lives on one floor while renting out the other two floors. Remi lives on the second floor, delighted to have a room of his own for the first time. The old house connects the past and the present, hiding within its walls clues to an old mystery about a missing soldier and representing both the evils and the hopes of past and present.
