Here's a screenshot from one of my videos. Amtrak 305 is approaching Dwight station when a bus drives in front of it. Don't worry, it's not as serious as it looks. The gates were still up and the train was just accelerating out of a siding after meeting northbound 304. I just thought it looked cool with the light shining through the bus.

Neat perspective, Tommy. Even though the gates were up, what is the point of having bus drivers stop to check each crossing if they're not going to wait for a train when they see it coming?
