Police and federal railroad officials were investigating the crash.

The crossing gates were working but it was not clear when they started to go down, police Sgt. Chris Amsler said. The gates were down when the train hit the van, he said.

The rail line has had problems with its automated crossing gates since it began running nearly a year ago, requiring its operator to post off duty police and flaggers at crossings as a backup to keep drivers off the tracks.
