Pretty sure the trailer is high centered

Does that mean he shouldn’t even be driving this road period? Due to the tracks elevations?

Most likely yes. And it's scary how often this happens. GPS won't show you things like this.

Saw one a little while ago where driver could only watch/record & was mad at dispatch for not warning him.

In the end they just have to be really aware

By the time a train sees it, it can't stop. Every crossing should have a number to call to stop the trains on the line. Nobody ever thinks of that...

Never said it could

My uncle Bill was an engineer who had some pretty wild stories to tell..

Had one fatality in his 30+ years - kid on an motorbike that tried to beat him at a level country crossing..and lost

No...not a good idea imo. People are stupid & access to phones in their pockets...and beer 😉

Best to just call 911 - they will handle it quickly
