Wasn’t sure if that was a CRE,Crete or Total pulling that dry van.

 

This crap is never going to end. We clearly need to ban trains and low bridges and drug tests.

 

I have gone over that track crossing....it is NOT truck friendly, and your landing gear can get stuck on it.....

 

FFS.
1 never START to cross a railroad crossing unless you can make it all way way across.
2. If you get stuck IMMEDIATELY, before ANYTHING else dial the 800 number on the sign posted at every RR crossing in the country and then call 911. NOTHING is more important that making that phone call. That 800 number puts you in touch with the railroad dispatch service and they can contact any trains on that track. Every crossing has the 800-number and the location/serial number of the crossing. You don't have to know if you are 8 miles west of Toad Squat, Arkansas or 5 miles north of it. You are at location ABC56872. No train is going to be able to stop once they are close enough to see your truck. Railroad dispatch will talk to the train operator on the radio and stop him miles before he comes running over your former employer's vehicle.
3. If a train is going to hit your vehicle, don't stand beside your pile of future junk. WALK TOWARD THE TRAIN'S DIRECTION . All the debris at impact is going to go where the train is going. The debris (your truck) is not going to go where the train came from. You are not going to outrun the flying debris, even if you were in shape and able to walk 10 feet without taking a rest.

You can see this moron driver standing on the driver side of his truck as the train approaches from the passenger side. The driver should have been on the passenger side and walking in the grass back toward where the train came from. The police will give him a ride back to pick up the fragments of his favorite coffee barrel, mug.

 

That driver never expected to get run over by a train. He obviously never thought for 3 seconds what to do if he did get stuck. Take some time when you are not busy and google what to do if you are stuck on a railroad crossing. Just saying "I'll never be that dumb" and doing nothing about it is how this moron driver went viral.

Los Angeles has many crossings that are in the industrial areas of that Hellscape and it's a good place to discover what you thought were abandoned railroad tracks are where the commuter and freight trains operate while you are stuck half-way on the track waiting for Octavio or Chadwick to run the red light in front of you.

 

The driver was female.
