Finale
It takes a 100-car freight train going 55 mph a mile or more to stop. This is equal to how many football fields?

At crossings where there is a stop sign or a signal on the other side of the tracks, how
does the driver determine if there is enough room (containment or storage area)
for the bus?
30292827262524232221201918171615141312111009080706050403020100StartTimerStartTimer
B. There’s always room following a crossing – the roads are designed that way.
A. Know the length of your bus. If you have any doubt, don’t take a chance. If it won’t fit, don’t commit.
C. Get out of the bus and measure.
D. Make a careful guess.
HomeInfo
Each driver needs to know the length of their bus and the size of the storage or containment area on the other side of the crossing.
So, know the length of you bus and add an extra 15 feet for safety!
Remember, the train will be 3 feet wider than the rails on both sides.
HomeBack
What causes drivers to misjudge whether it is safe to cross the tracks?

HomeInfo
B. Trains change speed unexpectedly.
D. An optical illusion fools the eye in judging the distance and speed of the train.
C. They think the train can stop for them if needed.
A. The train’s warning horns cannot be heard.
Speed PerceptionTrains appear to be traveling much slower than their actual
speed because of their size and mass; much like a jet looks like they are almost hanging in mid air even though their final approach speed is over 150 mph.

HomeInfo
A. Stop at this sign.
B. Slow down and prepare to stop at a railroad crossing.
C. Look and listen for trains. If you see one, decide if you need to stop or not.
D. No trains cross here.
Advance Warning Sign
The round yellow sign, called an Advance Warning Sign, warns drivers that the road intersects with railroad tracks ahead. This sign tells us to slow down and be prepared to stop if a train is approaching.
HomeBack
A school bus approaching a railroad crossing always has the right of way.
30292827262524232221201918171615141312111009080706050403020100StartTimerStartTimer
HomeInfo
B. True
A. False
C. It depends on the situation.
False – Trains always have the right-of-way at railroad crossing. The laws of physics make it impossible for a train to stop quickly enough to prevent a collision
HomeBack
If the bus stalls on a track, never try to restart the bus before evacuating the students.
30292827262524232221201918171615141312111009080706050403020100StartTimerStartTimer
HomeInfo
B. Try starting the bus three times, then evacuate the students.
C. If the bus stalls, evacuate the students immediately. Look for an emergency notification sign posted near the crossing to call and report your problem, or call 911.
A. Contact your dispatch office so they can notify the railroad, then evacuate the students.
D. Call the local police and then evacuate the students.
Evacuate Bus First!
Then look for this sign, an Emergency Notification Sign (ENS), posted at or near a highway-rail grade crossing, lists a telephone number along with the crossing's US DOT number and is used to notify the railroad of an emergency or warning device malfunction. (Image credit: MUTCD)

HomeInfo
B. Yield to the train, no matter what vehicle you are driving.
D. All of the above.
C. There are multiple tracks at this crossing.
A. Expect to see a train at this crossing.
HomeBack
This sign means:
• Expect to see a train at this crossing.
• Yield to the train, no matter what vehicle you are driving.
• There are multiple tracksat this crossing, 3 to beexact.
A stop sign at a railroad crossing means the same as a stop sign at any other intersection.

HomeInfo
A. False
B. True
STOP!
TRUE - A stop sign at a railroad crossing means the same as a stop sign at any other intersection.
HomeBack
A crossbuck is the most common warning sign at a railroad crossing.
30292827262524232221201918171615141312111009080706050403020100StartTimerStartTimer
HomeInfo
False
True
Crossbuck
A railroad crossing is marked with a crossbuck sign, which should be considered the same as a YIELD sign.
All motor vehicles should YIELD to trains.
HomeBack

Lowered gates and flashing red lights mean a train is approaching. Do not cross!
30292827262524232221201918171615141312111009080706050403020100StartTimerStartTimer
HomeInfo
False
True
Lowered Gate and Flashing Red Lights
Flashing Red Lights – with or without bells – warn of an approaching train. When the red lights are flashing, a train is approaching. Stop and wait for the train to pass, then proceed when it is clearly safe to do so.
Flashing Red Lights – with bells and gates – warn that a train is approaching. It is illegal to go around lowered gates.
HomeBack
If signals are malfunctioning at the crossing, you should:
30292827262524232221201918171615141312111009080706050403020100StartTimerStartTimer
HomeInfo
B. Do not cross. Wait for a properly identified railroad flagman or law enforcement office to flag you across.
D. All of the above.
C. Find another route if help does not arrive.
A. Contact your dispatch office. Notify the railroad about the problem.
Malfunctioning Signals
Only a police officer or properly-identified railroad flagman can direct you across a railroad crossing with malfunctioning signals.
If there is no official flagman/police officer and you believe the signals are malfunctioning, do NOT proceed.
HomeBack
If you have already started across the track and the gates begin to come down, continue to cross, do not hesitate.
30292827262524232221201918171615141312111009080706050403020100StartTimerStartTimer
HomeInfo
True
False
If you have already started across the track and the gates begin to come down, DO NOT STOP. Even if it means the bus will break the gate.
HomeBack
If the gates remain down after a train passes through a railroad crossing with more than one set of tracks, it is a malfunction.
30292827262524232221201918171615141312111009080706050403020100StartTimerStartTimer
HomeInfo
True
False
When there is more than one set of tracks, another train could be approaching from either direction, hidden by the first train.
At a multiple track crossing waiting for a train to pass, watch out for a second train on the other tracks, approaching from either direction.
HomeBack
A number posted below a crossbuck sign indicates what?
30292827262524232221201918171615141312111009080706050403020100StartTimerStartTimer
HomeInfo
B. The number of trains that cross those tracks each day.
D. How many train tracks cross at that crossing.
C. A railroad identification number.
A. The speed you should cross the tracks.
Multiple Track Sign
The number on a multiple track sign indicates the number of tracks present at that crossing.
After one train has passed, look and listen for another train coming from either direction.
HomeBack
A train can avoid a collision if the locomotive engineer applies the brakes as soon as he sees a vehicle stalled on the tracks.
30292827262524232221201918171615141312111009080706050403020100StartTimerStartTimer
HomeInfo
True
False
It depends on the weather.
By the time a locomotive engineer can see a school bus on the tracks, it is too late to be able to avoid a collision. Trains cannot stop quickly, even after applying emergency brakes.
