why did the bus stop on the tracks and ahy did the train stop if he got off the tracks before the train came

[dfwresources]

i was told tht when a train hits the em stop the train has to fully stop before it can go again

the train wasnt on the tracks it behind it and for safety reason all buses have to use their flashers or can get a ticket and the stick had an error it wasnt on the buses and they stopped to check it out and more then likely later that day or week had the rail road construction team fiz it i know these things cuz my cousin works for the railroad

[analyzingfunny]

a buss is a part of an electrical fuse box.

Great catch!

In bus driver's defense, do these gates start down too early after signals begin operating?

Should be SIX seconds to allow busses and semis to clear.

Or did this driver simply stop too close to the signal? Was still out of foul of the train.

If I were that bus driver after I gotten out of harms way, I would given that driver a piece of my mind!

[omrail]

the conductor got off to protect the crossing and look at the gate to see if it needed some fixing after.  you can see him when the units pull on to the crossing.

Was the driver reported to his/her supervisor?

i dont think he went into emergency being just two engines...it doesnt take much braking to slow down just a engine move. Lucky for the bus it wasnt a Z train.

[TWFsbeast]

i take it the bus started to cross when the lights came on, which then the driver has to stop reguardless and the guy behind the bus stopped causing the bus to get stuck on tracks for a second

I still think the driver should have made the car's day by just flooring it in reverse.
