27 Haunted Traintracks (Urban Folklore And Legends)
Occasionally a reader will post the following story, usually
attributing it to a local site. Once, there was a tragic accident on
a set of traintracks:
A busload of children was crossing the tracks, and could not get
out of the way in time to avoid the approaching train. Now, if
your car stalls out on the tracks, it will be pushed over the tracks
to safety before the train hits you. The ghosts of the children
have saved you, and sometimes you can see their small handprints
in the dust on your car.
The most well-known example of this urban legend are the haunted
traintracks in San Antonio, Texas.
