The railroad crossing at Farm-to-Market (FM) 548 and Gateway Boulevard overpass remain open.
"At this time we're not sure how long of a delay it will create, but buses may have to be re-routed," read a statement from the Forney Independent School District. "We wanted to let parents know there could be a delay in afternoon bus transportation."
"If you are driving to pick-up your student from school, staff will remain with students at campus until you're able to detour around the train and arrive," stated the district.
