there goes our haunted tradition...it was always fun going out to get spooked during October it will be missed

When I first heard about the ghost tracks, I was told that you stop your car directly on top of the tracks and the ghost children will push your car off of the tracks, but when I went with my friends in high school, everyone was stopping before the tracks and the cars were being pushed towards and then over the tracks. It never made sense to me that the ghosts would push your car toward the danger. The bus didn't stall on the road, it stalled on the tracks. That made me question the authenticity of the legend. Other than that, it was a cool experience. I looked up this legend a while back and it turns out that someone dug through city records and couldn't find anything about a train and school bus collision at that location. Also, turns out that the street names of the nearby neighborhood were named after the children of the people that developed the neighborhood. All that being said, the crossing still could be haunted by the ghosts of children, they just weren't killed in a school bus.

So, they removed it to prevent the tradition but it also brings tourists and curious people in their town to try it themselves...I would have kept it.

funny. I went today and the car still moves on it’s own .

Born and raised in San Antonio Texas and I know it's a creepy bus story that ties the tracks to it and I love the tradition but it never happened there is no historical facts about it ever happening in San Antonio.

Wish I could've checked it myself. I don't even live close to San Antonio. It kinda sucks I never went there to test it out :(
-
It still works me and my family went there like 5 minutes ago and we stopped the car and put it in neutro and we were pushed
-
People im here from the future and they in fact didn’t remove anything I just went yesterday
-
And where's that at in wht railroad tracks
-
I watch you all the time
-
Whoever took my red chucks at the park return them now
-
i went here before with my friends and i saw handprints on our car when it was pushing forward so it’s real
-
If they actually put crossing signals you know what’s going to happen if they were installed they’re just gonna malfunction randomly
-
Well they should at least put a plaque in remembrance of the little kids and bus driver.
-
There was never a school bus hit by a train in that location
-
No, it is not illegal. Yes, they can do it. It is on railroad right of way therefore the railroad can do whatever they want with it.
