    I don’t see the railroad lights or the gates down.

    They are. One gate is jammed into the side of the trailer, just behind the load.

    I could see lights too. Very difficult to see though.

    Didnt see lights, but the video wasnt great and they may have the directional hoods on (video is from a 45ish degree angle)

    But the gate was definitely down, on impact you can see it wiggling near the drivers side rear wheels
     
    Ffx95 Thanks this.

    oh yeah I see it now. That’s crazy how some people try to beat the train. I’m too scared of dying or getting seriously hurt. I will gladly wait that train out even if I’m running late.
