All of a sudden I am regretting throwing away my FHWA rule book and California Title 13 but, as I recall, the carrying of any passengers on or in a towed vehicle is illegal at least in California. Under the circumstances, DOT rules would not apply, even in Texas.
What the driver did or didn't do is still a lesser problem than the fact that the police or the parade organizers did not notify the railroad.
As far as getting off the trailer, every news report I have seen about this has clearly stated that some of the individuals were wheel-chair bound.
