I have no idea what the bold means.
When I was young (a long, long time ago) the law in my state was that once the school bus stopped, someone had to get out of the bus to look for trains and then wave the bus across the tracks. This happened everyday in my small town as tracks went right through town. The bus had kids of all ages because the school was K-12 (I said it was a small town). The high school kids - if they were even on the bus - were too cool to do it and of course the younger ones were too small, so this responsibility fell to kids that were usually in 6th through 8th grades. One day a kid got out, ran across the tracks waving his arm for the bus to follow, and waited for the bus to come across the tracks to pick him up. The bus did so after the train went by.
