Answer 3

I have done it several times :) always good for a laugh. It's some sort of physics trickery... but you roll uphill - very cool. Be careful though - it isn't in a very good neighborhood!

Answer 4

I can get there but not sure how to explain it. You can go on I-37 and get off Southton Rd. Go down Southton Rd. and theres a street that you take. Ya may see some people there trying out the trick.

Answer 5

It's on Shane Rd., near Mission Espada Park.  But it is all a myth, the bus crash never happened, and it is an optical illusion, it looks like your car is going uphill, but it has been measured and your car actually rolls downhill.  The supposed fingerprints are just the leftover oil from your hands on your trunk, affecting the baby powder.  And some fool on here is probably going to tell you that the tracks are abandoned, they are not.  I know because I work for the railroad and have been on those tracks.  Very heavy coal trains use those tracks, and if you are messing around there, you could very easily be killed, or have your car totaled, those heavy coal trains can't stop on a dime. Not only that, it is trespassing, as the railroad tracks and the right of way, are private property, owned by the railroad.  

Answer 6

okay so it is an optical illusion but the legend and story is great and you can't call yourself a true san antonian until you've done this!!!

Kind of like a right of passage!!!!!

Answer 7

Put baby powder on the back bumper, a teddy bear too, but some times you can't even find the bear after....

Answer 8

It is on Southton Rd.  You can find the tracks near where Loop 410 and I-37 South meet.  Take the Southton exit off Loop 410 and go outside the loop.

Answer 9

sorry i dont know

Answer 10

I've heard about this place ever since I moved here.I've had co-workers tell me it freaked them out,hand prints on the car and such.They do the story every year on the news around October 31st about the haunted tracks.The news also said it is a very creepy area in a fairly bad neighborhood.There has been bodies dumped there in years past on the news as well...

Answer 11

As Coolhand has said, this is an optical illusion.  If you put baby powder on your car at any railroad track anywhere you will likely find some fingerprints.  The residual oils you leave on your own car are what are found, and this is the basis by which fingerprinting technology was developed.

Answer 12

i agree with coolhand
