That crossing is in an industrial park area, I use it in the beginning to get them used to going through the motions. All busses still have to stop for RR crossings unless there is an EXEMPT sign posted. As far as radios go, I drove for 20 years without one. It was up to the people who placed the order wether it had one or not.
I disagree with buses stopping before a train crossing. If by some chance that they didn't see the train coming, they're at a snails pace pulling out and it becomes a target. If it's a valid working train crossing, keep moving. If it's in the middle of nowhere and no warning signs, by all means, slow down some, look, and keep rolling! I imagine that there are a lot of accidents with people running into the rear of buses.
Been a conductor for 21 years, none of us want to hit a school bus so thank you for stopping.
Now I know why it takes so long for a bus to cross the tracks.
Most of the drivers in my area wear yellow reflective vests. For what it’s worth I find it a bonus. You sound like a great teacher.
Contractors?
The airbrake in this video sounds like that this is a 2015 Thomas C2. 151042 sounded like that in my district.
That crossing had a stop sign,when I rode the bus there was no radio and all buses stopped at all rail road crossings.

@@lauriewoolley2794 what do you mean exempt sign?
@rickchapman9232 an EXEMPT sign signifies that the tracks are dead (no longer used) so school buses do not need to stop.
Someone is taking their school bus driving test.
Not yet, he's only been with me a few times .... he will get though
We have a winner !!!!!
Only in Ohio
