The crossing is inactive, its devices do not stand out much, I do not see strikingly visible warning signals to the left and right of the crossing, actually none on the left.

So again, this crossing can benefit from better signalling, which should still be possible within such little room.

Those white delineator poles will quickly become a liability when the next train versus car happens and they’re turned into projectiles.

Rail companies famously never spend more than they absolutely have to on their tracks. My partner's brother works for the MN DNR. The rail companies that run through MN never bother to clear any of the brush near the tracks. It's cheaper for them to just pay the fine when their trains inevitably start a wildfire. It's the same sort of logic even on this track. The only way they'll pay to put an incline in is if someone gets hit and they get sued - and even then the person suing them would have to demonstrate liability and that the rail company (is it CSX that owns this track?) knew it's a problem and a safety hazard and didn't do anything about it.

@NoseyNana6 жыл бұрын
+SGT Ghost Haha, let me explain my version of a ramp. When a car goes over a track at the intersection, the track is pretty level to the road and isn't an obstacle, maybe just a small bump. But when a car makes a bad turn, it is between the tracks. If there was a tapered portion of concrete/asphalt going from level ground up to the road, it becomes wedge shaped, thus a ramp. The car could just back up 'the ramp' back onto the road. That was the MacGuyver solution with the wood, providing the height needed to get back on the road. This could be fixed in a dream world we don't live in hehe. When our infrastructure is to the point that dams are busting, plus this isn't something that happens very often @ train crossings, we're left with crossing our fingers or a hope or a prayer :)

If you find yourself in this kind of predicament, stuck on tracks in any situation, immediately look for a small blue sign posted at the grade crossing (at US crossings, it is a blue background with white lettering). They're often on the crossbucks and sometimes on a separate post. There's a toll-free 800 number for the railroad (usually that particular railroad's police dispatch) and the exact location of the crossing (every point on a railroad has specific names to avoid confusion). You still risk being hit, especially if it is a busy line, but you give yourself and any approaching train a fighting chance to avoid a collision. This is good example of why we should retest for driver's licenses periodically, regardless of age (then come up with real deterrents to driving suspended/revoked). I drive for a living and drivers nationwide become less and less proficient with every year that passes.

1:40 - that sounds like an off duty first responder. Well done sir, I would have done the exact same thing. GET OUT NOW>>>

The car driver must have had real panic .... He can be glad that the passersby were so attentive, and the guy got out of the car and warned that a train is coming ... The whole thing could have ended much worse

judging how the rear tires contacted the pavement when the driver backed up slowly...i would have had that car off the tracks faster than he got that sucker wedged between them.

Hard to tell on a rainy night but it doesn't look like a whole lot of room for error on that side of the road like the other side. Once you're off the road there's no going back!

I wonder if the combination of weather conditions and light reflecting off the top surface of the tracks confused the driver in to thinking it was a lane marker. Then in there confusion accidentally following it.

Have the road where the guy is trying to back up be a slope so he can get out and not be stuck.

Such things happen. Very rainy nights are stressful in unfamiliar areas. Too many shadows, glare, odd reflections all contribute to disorientation. During a downpour, a driver coming east on my street wound up steering into a parked car. Otherwise, there was enough lighting and leeway on either side under dry nighttime conditions.

How about gates for the RR tracks that go up when a train is approaching and when the usual gates go down.

That's one of the worst corners I've ever seen. For people who are not familiar with that corner, especially on a rainy night like this, you're taking your life in your hands when you need to make a turn.

12 minutes for a freakin' tow truck!? Up here in Canada they are significant portion of the Gross Domestic Product and arrive within one minute. The cops about 6 minutes.

In my state (CA) people of a certain age have to take the complete driving test every year. I think it's age 70.

They should ramp the ballast up to the street level so cars/trucks can back out instead of having to bring out a tow truck. It won't encourage people to turn wrong, but will expedite recovery.
