i noticed no one has posted directions but its located in the southshide right by the baseball field.i have done this before with my family and friends and ive heard the same stories that people have wrote about.it you dont believe this, thats fine because everyones entitled to their own opinion but why do yall get mad jus because our beliefs are different.i mean seriosuly,let people think what they want and for those who have done this already, its not scary at all but its a un experience.

I have been there myself and it was wierd. I did not believe it at first either so had to see for myself. You could hear the kids screaming and talking to get your car across the tracks. Also if you sit indian style on the tracks facing the east close your eyes and put hands on the tracks you can see it all happen. Now that was the wierd part. If it did not really happen whats up with that?

i live on the south side of san antonio ive been there many times and all the things they say are true you put the baby powder on the back of your car park on the tracks and an unknow force does push you off the tracks one time my husband went and while wating on the tracks the car stoped the doors locked from the inside the lights started to flicker the windows did not want to roll down the raido started to change on its onw then all of a sudden the lights tuned on and somethng pushed them off the tracks it was weird me and my friendsin a car behind them it scared the heck out of us and we never went back

need direction how to get to railroad tracks from 1-10 and wurzbach

I have also lived in San Antonio all my life, and heard the urban legend about these so-called “ghost tracks” many times. When I was younger (about 18 or 19) myself and some friends of mine went out there to see what all the hubbub was about. Having seen actual photos of “handprints in the baby powder” on the backs of people’s cars (they had a story about it all in The San Antonio Light), we went out there in “full investigative mode”, complete with a freshly washed car and baby powder. One of my friends that went along is a surveyor, and he brought some of his equipment as well.
The first thing we did when we got there was to have my surveyor friend set up his tripod and check out the area at the tracks crossing. He confirmed that there is definitely a slope that goes in the direction that cars are supposedly “pushed”. We also tried the whole bit with the baby powder. The car did “move” across the tracks, as it was a heavy car and when you have a slight slope and a heavy car, this mysterious force known as “gravity” will make it roll downhill. We did this several times. Afterwards when we checked the baby powder, we did not see any tiny handprints, pawprints, scuffmarks, *anything* to indicate that we were mysteriously “pushed” across the tracks. We concluded that while the story about the bus crash *might* be true, the bit about the ghost children is nothing more than a bunch of hype and lots of overactive imaginations or downright hoaxers. If you want to visit some “real” haunted areas in San Antonio, try The Alamodome, or even University Hospital in the Medical Center, where a ghost named “Murphy” likes to wreak havoc a few times a year.

For those of you who wish to check out the “ghost tracks” yourself, they are on the southeast side of San Antonio, just outside of loop 410. The easiest way to get there is to take Mission Parkway (off of SE Military dr) all the way out till it ends at Villamain Rd. Take a right on Villamain and follow it all the way to it’s end. Note the railroad tracks to the left of Villamain rd as you follow it. Those are the legendary tracks. The “haunted railroad crossing” is at the intersection of Villamain and Shane roads. It is easily viewable in google earth. Just to the east of that area is the little development where all the streets are named after kids. The names of the streets are as follows: “Laura Lee Way”, “Nancy Carole Way”, “Cindy Sue Way”, “Richie Otis Way”, and “Bobbie Allen Way”. It’s coordinates are 29º19’02.00″N, 98º26’36.02″W.

I just went there a few minutes ago and it really does work. Your car will be pushed up the hill when stopped and put in neutral.

I went to the railroad tracks twice this month and they told me to turn my car off on the x befor the rail road tracks and it pushed us over at first it was freaky but then i realized it on a incline on a hill it looks straight but its just an illusion to the eyes because there is a hill at the end of the rail road tracks . As for the finger prints i found on my trunk from the baby powder i believe that no matter how much you clean your car you will always have the oils on there from your prints. It a Lie …. San antonios night life is sleazy and ghetto dont go!!!

The story isnt true at all, not even the bus being hit by a train. Some say that the streets around the area are named after the children that died but in fact are the names of the the children of the developers of the area.

I live by a place with that exact same story attached to it only its located in Illinois

I have been and went with an open mind about the whole situation. We tried the baby powder on 3 different cars and did get finger prints but there were also smudges around them from the oil I had on my hands earlier that day. It could be little kids but I would say they were my finger prints. We also noticed that the road is slanted just enough that it will make your car roll while in neutral. We also used a basketball, can, a small wagon, and a few other items that also rolled down. No little kids would care to push an empty wagon or anything out of the way. The best way to test this, just as we did, is pull your car right up to the tracks, not up the street a little ways like most do. You will see that the car doesn’t roll while in neutral because there is a rise before the tracks that it will not get over. You can say that the kids aren’t strong enough to push from there, that’s ridiculous. A ghost would not have a limit on strength so I believe this to be false.
The asylum just down the road, though, scared the living **** out of me!

I WENT TO THE TRAINTRACKS MANY TIMES AND YES IT IS TRUE,I EVEN HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE IT!

I want to see the pictures.

i heard of this story i live in houston n i heard it was true i never been down there but it came up in the radio. the radio hosts went down there n said that they put baby powder on the back n put the car in neutral n they felt the car being pushed n this was live so who knows. i heard that the kids push the car so you wont suffer the same fait they did

I grew up in S.A. and heard that story too. I’m 33 now and still believe it. When I went I was 17. Me and four of my friends piled in my car and we stopped completely on the tracks. Put it in neutral. It VERY slowly moved forward and stopped when we cleared the tracks. We were all freaked but excited at the same time. Me and another got out and sat on the hood to see if it would keep moving, nothing happened though. We didn’t put the baby powder on it either. I heard the reason it moves is some polarity deal. Don’t know how that works. It really is a spooky area though. There is a huge baseball field next to it that IS in use. Furthermore if you drive down the road when you are done, the trees lined up perfectly next to the railroad track all totally bend AWAY. It’s spooky as hell. It’s caused by years of fast winds from the trains though. It causes the trees to bend away and eventually stay that way. One last thing. Back in the early 90′s when we did this, it was like an attraction. There were 15-20 cars behind us waiting for their turn to get ‘pushed’ over.

In conclusion, it’s either ghosts pushing us over, or that wierd polarity deal I mentioned before.

Spooky nontheless but it’s fun so give it a go.

When i was a kid my parents played softball at that field next to the tracks when we will go i will feel the car move and see the finger prints it was fun but crazy spooky at the same time!!

For everyone out there I also believe this to be true My Husband is from Texas and He has told me this story, and they also have made a movie about this it is called “Fingerprints.” I think everyone should see this movie.
ALSO!

If you are coming from the mission are go to the 5 mile line and keep on following it and you will come upon this area it has a fence around it and also there are a lot of flowers on the fence too.

i have seen it for myself, it IS real! I also saw a ghostly figure and his dog too…

I was on the tracks outside my car and a ghost child stood there and smiled at me. I kept running and the child ran after me and its lips were stitched to where it looks like a smile. I keep thinking about that day and it makes me cry.
