    Give him a break. He was probably listening to Blackfoot.

    "TRAAAAAIN, TRAAAIN. TAKE ME ON OUTTA THIS TOWN . . . "

    It did.

    WOW, does anybody think that his landing gear may have stopped his progress , ? Perhaps he was stuck and couldn't " get out of the way " ? Looks slightly plausible, there is a fair rise at the crossing and that is a pretty long trailer ?

    It's possible but it doesn't look to be that significant of a rise.....Here in AZ there are certain crossings where towns have made it a "No train whistle" area. How stupid is that? Some residents complain about train noise but the railroad track was there before their house was. Kind of like the "no jake brake" sign on the interstate. Absurd!

    Simple way to avoid this ... Stop at stop sign turn head to the right , turn head to the left if you see a train don't proceed !!!! Yet every week or so someone gets hit it seems
