Hi, I'm Amanda Jane. Hoping to discuss Dr. Sleep with someone. Hoping I'm not losing it, lol. Have Frasier , New Hampshire, the kid's train, and the Helen Rivington House shown up in a previous novel? I could swear I've read about them before but for the life of me I can't remember where. Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to the site Amanda Jane. 
I don't remember reading about those previously, but I could be wrong. (Though the train did remind me of the storybook version of Blaine in one of the DT books.)

I think that there are some tie-ins to NOS4A2 by Joe Hill aka Joseph Hillstrom King.
Crap, I loved that book and can't remember them!

Welcome to the SKMB - no - sorry - I am not making a connection - maybe someone else will figure it out - good luck!
It was specifically something about the train and the guy running it , I think. I know Steven does these little tie ins from book to book, and was just hoping a more observant fan than I who could remember . I'll keep digging. Thanks in advance to anyone who can figure it out!

..Hi Amanda, as Flake said, I think the train was to evoke echoes of the trains in the Dark Tower, unsure about Fraiser-doesn't ring a bell, but the Rivington House could be confused with other "group homes" in both Insomnia and Rose Madder....
Might be, but I didn't read that one. Thanks for the reply, though!
Not NOS4RA2...based on a search for one of the words above...a search on the kindle. Looked too, at Insomnia...I have a kind of index...but might could be still possible...I don't index everything. Too, at stephenking.com...or the "main" page of which this skmb is one part, there is a Library, and you could search through the characters lists provided there...not all stories have character lists and even...at least one...that does, does not include all the names in the story...Misery maybe or The Dark Half...we're playing a game in Games, a-z from each novel as it was written, and one recent story we did did not have all the names. So. Check back...perhaps someone sometime will see the thread, chime in. Ka.
Thanks! I'm thinking now it might have been one of the Dark Tower novels in did in the mid 2000's - at least one of them did go in and out of time and place........thanks for the ideas!
I don't know If you're still trying to figure this out but I believe you're tginking of the children's book in The Wastelands Dark Tower 3 called Charlie the Choo-Choo in which a sentient but benevolent version of Blaine the Mono ends up saving the day and is rewarded with retirement spent tooling kids around an amusement park. Subsequently in the next book Wizard and Glass the ka-tet run into a dead train in Gage Park in a post Captain Trips, The Stand, ravaged Topeka, Kansas. Because of The Dark Tower movie the released a standalone Charlie the Choo-Choo book. It's a full on kids book complete with illustrations. Hope this helped.
