Just an FYI. At every RR crossing that you come to. There is a blue tag “sign” on the pole on either side of the track. It will be an 800 number and track location number. Do not call 911 do not try to move off of the track. Go immediately to the crossing pole and call the number. They could easily stop all track movements and could save your equipment and insurance a lot of money. 911 will not call that number for you. It is your responsibility to call it in. Hope this helps if you’re ever stuck on a RR Track.

Yard dogs would jack em around annd often have em in a bind. Pull the leveling valve rod, raise till the shoes are off the ground. Crank up the legs a bit, and reattach.

I am suprised that more lowboy type trailers are not equipped with an over-inflate system to raise the suspension a few inches at the push of a button. We have had them in the car haul world for a long time, raises both tractor and trailer by up to 6 inches.
Really simple system to install, so important that they are pretty much standard equipment in today's car haulers. Flip the switch before crossing any questionable grade level obstrutions and avoid the problem all together. -
