Traffic signals were red, the big yellow and orange diesel had headlights blazing and horn honking, and two flagmen (second one in orange shirt is visible near bus mirror) were on the ground trying to direct traffic. It wasn't enough, as several cars and a school bus drove into the path of the train, which had 18 cars. Ain't nobody got time for that. You can see in the photo that the bus is already in the gauge and the diesel's plow is already in the roadway. Three cars stopped momentarily to allow the bus to swerve around 3070's plow. FYI - 3070 started life in October 1979 as Florida East Coast GP40-2 420.
