CSX 7800 west bound tangles with a tour bus, see damage to lead unit also in this album,  Contributor's Pick!       
A tour bus on its way to pickup passengers for Atlantic City 3 blocks away, makes an illegal turn, and get stuck between a rock and a hard place. The rock wall in front of the house on the left prevented the bus from making a complete turn. The bus was attempting to make a three point turn and tried to clear the crossing when the gates came down. 7800 rounded the bend and had no time to avoid the hit. No one was hurt, just a lot of shaken up people.
