You're watching how the State of Ohio views railroad safety. They leave it to the railroads to take care of their rights-of-way, and don't review anything until cases like this one arise. As for the lack of lights and arms? Same thing. This is on the way-out East side of C-bus. Crossings with less than X amount of traffic don't have to have lights or arms. Evidently, this one didn't reach X.
In my Town the Tracks have Barriers that Block the Road with Flashing Lights...it really just gently Rolls through our Small Town...so I don't get the lack of Safety Precaution!!! 😮
Not all crossings have those features. I don't know how they decide which ones get them and which ones don't. There are many railroad crossings where I live that do not have a bar.
Sorry but I know it's a short clip and all but I never saw the bus move once doing everything they could would mean backing up a little further that was way too close and if you back into a car a little fender bender ain't nothing compared to that whole bus spinning and flipping and what ever else.. and if there wasn't a car behind them really should have backed up TH-cam shorts suck sometimes being so short ...
In hindsight, yes, backing up would make the most sense but at the same time I’m not sure that the bus driver was allowed to back up normally buses aren’t allowed to just reverse in the middle of streets but then again I’m not sure what the protocol is in this situation.
@@NEOhioSAT I hear you, at the same time protocol isn't to get hit by a train either Idk what happened here but more context would have been more helpful none of it makes much sense Looked like the rail came down on the bus so that worked idk what took them so long maybe he knew he wasnt close enough and video angle makes it look much closer. At first I thought the bus had broken down but that doesn't seem to be the case
@@AMERICA_F1RST I agree I really wish there was a video of the entire incident starting from the bus, pulling up to the railroad track. I noticed that the bus did not have its four-way flashers on which is a red flag because that is mandatory when a school bus pulls up to a railroad crossing
Railroads are extremely powerful. The company I worked for I found that out the hard way when they asked them for some help with a project that would make the crossing better ambivalent trucks from dropping a wheel and getting stuck. The railroad responded with the idea that they might just decide to close that crossing, even though it was the only way for trucks to get in and out of our facility.
The bus driver did everything right, the Railroad needs to make sure that EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY!!
Ummm not a single attempt to put it in reverse??? Also.. NO LIGHTS AT THE CROSSING??? WTF AM I WATCHING?

It is suspicious that the bus didn’t have its flashers on. They’re supposed to remain on until the bus is completely over the tracks.

It takes up to a mile for a train to stop. Short trains also cannot stop like a car. The guy saying "stop the train" is a moron
Agreed
Yep

Pretty sure it was working properly to have the gate arm on the roof of bus before train gets to the crossing
It’s 15 to 50
didnt the arms come down???
😮😢😢
Oh yes, let's blame Norfolk Southern instead of the bus driver not attempting to back up.
Most companies have anti backup policies
In most cases, the bus driver is not allowed to back up the bus in the middle of the street
