Live feed from Channel 5 on their site shows interview with eyewitness in one of the cars. He said that cars were going around the gates and that all warning devices were operating for "about a minute " before the train arrived at the crossing. From his description it sounds like there was a big holiday traffic jam at that location and people realized too late that they were on the tracks and couldn't get off due to the crush of traffic ahead and behind them. A good reason to stop clear IMMEDIATELY when the warning devices activate. A 60 mph commuter train won't stop on a dime... <br /> <br />LC
