ATHENS — Hundreds of students across the state show support for a school district in East Texas. They showed up for class Monday morning wearing maroon, one of the Athens school district’s colors. Athens lost a student Friday when a bus collided with a train. A second student was hurt and continues to recover at a hospital in Dallas. Counselors were also called in at the schools Monday. Union Pacific says its data show the train was sounding its horn for 30 seconds before the crash. Video of the incident has been turned over to police.
