1938 South Jordan rail crossing disaster

As the bus prepared to cross the grade, a Freight Train called "The Flying Ute" was approaching carrying 80 cars, and accelerating at a pace of 50 miles per hour.

[4] The legal aftermath of the accident mandated that all buses be required to stop at level grades before passing.

A "lookout" was also temporarily required, which mandated that another employee get off of the bus at every grade crossing and check for oncoming trains.

[3] While the site in South Jordan is not known to be haunted, this incident inspired an urban legend in San Antonio, Texas.

The legend goes that any car that is stranded on the tracks will be pushed off by invisible hands believed to belong to the children that perished in this accident.
