You can see the cross arms down. Trains have the right of way. All the time.
Even when they don't, they do.
Which is why they have the RoW. Crazy. 18 wheeler guy went around dropped cross arms; foolish in a car, felony stupid in a 100+ foot long tractor/ trailer.
I think it probably makes more sense that the arms weren’t down when he started the turn and he got stuck because it was too sharp
I caught someone on the local news talking about this. Apparently they were in the middle of a multi point turn when the arms went down.
Which means the route was bad. Who does a k turn on a railway?
Yeah it's crazy they even considered doing it. It was retarded but not as retarded as crossing with the arms already down.
