CSX is in the news in a bad way for the second time in two weeks.

The bus seems remarkably intact, at least.

I agree the bus is very intact I have seen some train truck crashes at full train speeds they were spread for a couple of miles of track.

The train wasn’t going very fast when it hit the bus.

It is most likely the fault of the driver.

My dad was District Counsel for Seaboard Coast Line and then Southern Railways for over 30 years and he NEVER lost a crossing accident case.

The railroads are VERY careful about crossings and usually start with the horn over a mile in advance.

Did the train run a stop sign?

The only news I recall about CSX is the president being replaced. They gave him until May to clean out his office, and have already named his replacement. Same for the CEO (also fired, no replacement named for him yet). More heads to roll after May.

How far did the train have to swerve to hit the bus?
