Sensationalized but true here is an article.
I have yet to watch the movie but I hope it's descent. The fact that Kristin Cavallari is in it makes it more questionable. It did happen in San Antonio Texas around the south side of town and children did die but everything else is sensationalized. It is believed that the children who died will push your car over the tracks to protect you from the train. However, if you put your car in neutral on a small hill we all know what will happen.lol People put baby powder over their car and afterward your supposed to see "fingerprints" all over your car. Some believe it some don't. I went as a child and did see fingerprints but i was with pranksters.lol Again a train did hit a bus full with children but that's where the truth ends.

The ghost children of San Antonio is a story that’s unfamiliar to people outside of Texas, but it’s not just a ghost story, it’s a part of American history. At the corners of Shane and Villamain roads, just off the SE Loop 410, a school bus full of children stalled as the bus tried to climb a grade on the tracks of a railroad crossing in 1949. At this time in history, it was common for many rural tracks to have no signals and they were made for trains, not vehicles. Sometimes the wood placed between the tracks on the crossings would become bent and trap vehicle tires.
Although the details of the legend are unsure, it was said to be the bus was able to get its front wheels over the tracks, and as it climbed the grade, the bus stalled. The back wheels became stuck in the warped wood of the tracks and the bus was unable to move. Suddenly, a train was spotted coming down the tracks towards the bus. The bus became filled with panic and screams. A few children were lucky enough to get out of the bus through the windows, however, the rest were not so fortunate. The bus driver and most of the children were killed by the collision of the train.
This day, no one knows how many children died that day on the bus. However, it enraged people from coast to coast. The stories and descriptions haunted parents everywhere, and like most tragic accidents, laws were passed after the event. One of these laws passed was that school buses had to stop before crossing a railroad and make sure there were no trains coming. Shortly after the tragic accident took place, came the addition of emergency windows and doors.
Area residents reported seeing ghostly children between 1949 and 1951. Several nearby streets bare the first names of the children, and it’s been assumed for many years that the streets were named after the victims or survivors. The mystical part of the story is, the streets were named several years before the accident.
