The tragedy is something to be remembered and immortalized, but the attached ghost stories create a reason to keep telling this story. Not many will visit their loved ones at Chestnut Grove without seeing the monument where the engineer is seen crying, or think about how a spirit could have walked the same path as them. The story has become a piece of Ashtabula's identity, and while interest has somewhat waned over the years, the ghost stories will always continue. Kids will keep visiting the bridge and keep trying to see ghosts.
