    Very sad. I wonder why the bus driver didn't see the train coming. They have the same rules as hauling hazmat: Stop at the railroad crossing. Look. Listen. It looks like the rails cross the road at an angle, so the driver would have had to twist a bit to see back to the left, but it also looks like the train wasn't going that fast, considering it stopped in about two rail car lengths. Again, very sad.
