A train crashed into a bus in Chachoengsao province on Sunday morning, reportedly killing 20 bus passengers, while 15 injured people were rushed to the local hospital.

 

The 60 bus passengers from Samut Prakarn province were heading to join a religious ceremony in Chachoengsao.

 

According to eyewitness accounts, the bus driver had stopped at the railway crossing for a train but he reportedly did not notice the alarm for another train coming from the other direction.

 

Locals said that the alarm station was abandoned and the spot blocked the sight of oncoming trains.

 

The bus was entirely destroyed while police were investigating the cause of the accident. Rescue teams have rushed to the site.

That would appear to be a different accident. The picture in this story shows a passenger train, that is a freight train.

It was a freight train. The original article says so. The picture must have been taken later when a passenger train was stopped there.

If you look at the CCTV of the accident, it's a long freight train...

The crossing seems to be next to a station, so likely other trains with passengers pass, and stop, there.
