Here is a link to an update on the Texas crash including a new timeline chart: <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324205404578147443600967134.html">http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324205404578147443600967134.html</a> In the article linked here, click on the timeline chart and enlarge it.  Notice that conspicuously absent is the event of the driver entering the crossing 7 seconds after the activation of the lights and bells.  It is surprising that such a key element of the timeline would be omitted.   I would have to go back and look, but it seems to me that this timeline is substantially different from the timeline we were originally given by the NTSB.  If I recall, the original timeline counted seconds up from point of activation whereas this one counts seconds down. This adds a lot of confusion to what actually happened. Also, the chart shows the gates starting to descend 7 seconds after the activation of the lights and bells.  However, we were previously told that the driver entered the crossing at precisely this time, and we were told that the gates had not yet begun to descend.
