Summary

Description
English: Gilchrest Road grade crossing in the town of Clarkstown, NY, USA, seen from southeast. This was the site of the 1972 accident that killed seven students when a school bus driver failed to beat a freight train through the crossing. As a result, the law was changed to require that school buses stop and look both ways before any grade crossing, anywhere.
