Glad nobody was hurt, but a graphic reminder that you need to be extra vigilant when crossing tracks when towing a trailer or toad.

Thats nothing that requires a public service message telling others to be careful. The driver who ended up putting themselves in that position was simply a moron. When you have a railroad crossing with a traffic light just beyond there are two reasons why you would get in that position. One is your a moron, the other is your an impatient in a hurry moron. Now the person will probably sue the railroad lol.

Probably true but not always. I was crossing a track at a similar location once and was taking the rough tracks slowly when some jerk cut me off at the last second taking my extra space leaving my backside sitting on the tracks. Absolutely unexpected and unavoidable unless I crossed the tracks at a bone rattling speed. I was pretty nervous until I cleared the tracks.
