I thought if a bus even seen a train, they’d have to stop and wait but I must be wrong.. Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad ELS 501 and 502 headed south with 4 Alter Metal gondolas and 12 loaded LP Smart Siding center-beams, all bound for Green Bay, WI.

By regulations and rules set for motor vehicle companies operating in New Brunswick, any bus must stop at all rail crossings, open door to see if clear and cross. if there is a train they are to wait till passes. by my reasoning the driver is in trouble.
Jason — your thumbnail text would be greatly enhanced if you added a border or drop shadow in a contrasting color.
I don't know if it matters as to whether or not any kids are on the bus. You should contact the local school system and report this issue, and they should determine what should happen to the driver. If my kid was on that bus, I would hope someone would report it. While you're at it, you should find out what the protocol is for RR crossings.
Great video Jason, thanks for taking us along!
Send your video to the local school district!!!
Where’s all the snow?
I’m surprised a wind storm hasn’t taken it down the broken pole
It was going so slowly, and not honking the horn (yet), the driver either didn't see it, or assumed it was stopped.
I used to drive School Bus in Ontario Canada. We have to activate the hazard lights (4-way flashers), STOP, LOOK, OPEN THE DOOR AND DRIVER'S WINDOW, LISTEN, and go when it was safe to do so. In my opinion, this was a safe move by the bus driver. I did not notice if he opened the door or not.
That bus isn’t owned by a school district. Looks like a private company. Maybe it was empty?
Everyone's watching
To see what you will do
Everyone's looking
At you
Using my super forensics skills, I've determined there was at least one passenger on board, midway back. Slowed down to 0.25 speed, 1080p, zoomed in tight, when the tinted windows pass between camera and white building.
Busses are suppose to stop, when they see a train that close, thanks for the video Jason, I thought we would see more Centerbeams of siding, but 12 is a nice load
As a former school bus driver I understand that driver if you understand sarcasm. No that school bus driver is completely in the wrong thanks for taking us to county O to finish out the video one of these day's and years in our lifetime that pole will be fixed 😂
I drove bus in the UP for 8 years and yes, bus drivers are required to stop if they see or even HEAR a train coming. I would report that driver ASAP.
Yes, that bus driver needs to be relieved of his duties. No excuses.
You should notify the school district. That's irresponsible driving.
please report it,,
That driver needs to be warned.
when the school bus gets in to an accident there are no kids on it good catch thanks Jason !
That pole will get hit again Jason before it's replaced. I do like this crossing though the train is fast & the horn sounds great going over the crossing. ❤😊
I enjoyed that video👍👍
Wow! Great video. Nice revenue freight for E&LS and green Freddy going south. Just doesn't get any better. Thanks for sharing. 👍
IT'S THE LAW,ALL BUSES 🚌 MUSTSTOP AT,ALL RAILROAD CROSSINGS. THIS, INCLUDES, CITY BUSES 🚌, INTERCITY BUSES, (SUCH AS CHARTER AND GREYHOUND),AND SCHOOLBUSES. 4:03
Jason you should show this video to the local police, yes I am also a former buss driver.
Since it was safe for the school bus to cross the track after stopping and before the train began to whistle, I don't see a problem.
good train video
Cool video thanks Jason
Me too. It's not like you've got 1, 2 or 3 mile long trains up there.
I always like the “Broken Pole Crossing”! Another great video
I hope you reported that bus driver. A school bus has to come to a complete stop, opening the doors and looking both ways to ensure that a train isn't coming before crossing. And there's a stop sign there! What the heck!?
cool beans
Wow! Excellent catching both the train and a school bus, @jasonasselin, I got both the trains and a school bus in downtown Dayton, Ohio, thank you very much and happy late-Valentine's day.
I wasn't expecting the bus to take off like that in front of the train, even if the train was going slowly. I have worked a job close to a crossing on a branch line that's sees trains approximately 2-3 days a week, depending on what the customers up that line need. Some apartments are nearby and school buses almost always stopped at the crossing, with the buses' lights flashing like it was a regular school bus stop for kids. There's only one exception I can note, but I'm not sure if it had kids on board as it went by quickly. And only once as of this posting did a train pass while a bus was there. The branch line has been on deferred maintenance for a long time and is restricted to around 10mph.
Cannot believe that bus driver pulled out in front of that train. Had that been in North Carolina, that driver would had been fired from driving and license revoked.
Just in case anyone’s wondering, this video has been forwarded to the owners of the company. They have been in contact and said they will be dealing with this matter personally. It is totally unacceptable that that driver went in front of that train
My brother drives school bus and says you are quite correct about the bus stopping. The bus is supposed to stop with the door open until the train passes. Cool video, thanks Jason!
😊
Awesome video Jason. Thanks for sharing. The school bus driver should have stopped. Even if there's no train coming.
Maybe that pole is owned by ELS. And we all know how they are with maintenance.
The bus driver definitely needs reported. Their behavior is unacceptable.
The video clearly shows the bus coming to a complete stop. It's hard to say how long the bus stopped because the video was obviously edited at that moment!
Driver needs to be fired and prohibited from similar employment
