Everyone blaming the red truck basically doesn't understand how this road works. He makes the turn here before any warning lights come on at the 1:33 mark. You can see by the other cars at the end of this street the direction his travel lane is supposed to be is on the tracks. Doing the only thing other than attempting to go in reverse which would still have been difficult, he goes to the left of the tracks where there is room until the white truck runs those lights and basically messes up the red truck's route. At that point, there's panic and it all goes down hill from there. They need to eliminate the parking on the right side and make that the travel lane for cars heading away from the camera, leave the other side the way it is as the angled parking is easier to pull in and out of without blocking too much of the roadway.

It was initially caused by the white truck who jumped in with a train in sight, but contributing negligence. The red truck crossed into that zone before the arms came down and the train was not visible as he came past the buildings. The red truck's lane was the tracks, so the driver went left, assuming a counter space on the left (they likely couldn't swing that monster in anyway with one move)...instead of just backing out of the situation immediately. If the red truck driver could have backed straight for 100 feet then they'd avoid the train. Obviously from my wife's tribe who can't back straight for more than two feet without starting into a circle. The locomotive engineer likely could have stopped. He stopped just a couple of feet later after hitting the truck...so he was playing king of the hill chicken. This one was a three way.

@@OkieOtaku I think both trucks had enough time to make it through that block if they weren't facing each other. A one way street would take away one variable from a messed up equation. I'm definitely not for getting rid of the train, since I like these historic reminders of a simpler time in our history.

At this time, the best remedy is to remove the parking on this block of the street. That would be somewhat of a hardship but would allow enough room for auto and train traffic to pass safely. If there was a reasonable way to bypass downtown the railroad would take it. There are a number of locations that cities and railroads have worked together to remove train traffic off the downtown streets.

The guy in the red truck was still on the wrong side of the street. Besides that, as soon as he started down the street he should have saw the train, but he kept going. Not sure where he thought he was going to go.

That La Grange street arm needs to come down sooner but that said, some vehicle is an idiot there at least weekly. That red pickup driver experienced serious brain lock since that was so easily avoidable. Right before the train hits it, you see the driver actually start to drive towards the train. Yeah buddy, the train will will swerve first.

About the La Grange place. First off there is no markings to show how wide the train is. Second all vehicles must be stopped at the crossings, Markings and signs in place giving distance for those that might need to exit. No need to bother with barriers because if they cant stop at a sign (or when they see a train!) there is no point. Also FINES! So if they pass the crossing markings while train coming. Instant fine. If car next to track is leaving and is unfortunate to be in that situation he then has room to get out and the lines next to the rack will give him an idea how far the driver is from the rails.

True...except it is obvious THIS train could have stopped...Since it did immediately after hitting the truck. Massive paperwork and getting chewed out because of massive RR incident investigations.

Why didn't that truck go in reverse, it had SOOO much time to go backwards. The train was going like at 15 km/h the average walking speed. Even if it was an standard transmision, the change doesn't take that long... Stupidity at its highest.

Or at the very least, stopped when he first saw the train. That way, the train would have had time to stop and let him figure out what his next move was going to be.

I know this is an old video but I just caught it. Something needs to be done about LaGrange. Either restrict parking to one side of the road only or reconstruct the parking, get rid of slanted parking.
