The bus driver made a fatal decision to race a freight train across active railroad tracks, gambling with over 50 lives in his care. Video evidence clearly shows other vehicles successfully crossing the same intersection moments before, proving safe passage was possible with proper caution and timing. Canadian Pacific Kansas City appropriately called on drivers to respect road signs and stop orders at railroad crossings, emphasizing that driver violations of traffic laws are the primary cause of these accidents. Personal responsibility and following basic traffic safety rules could have prevented this entirely avoidable tragedy.
