[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1055510, member: 42691"] No need to beat up this poor guy; he paid a big price for his mistake. What we can do is learn from his mistake. Particularly in feeders, never have any uncertainty around railroad tracks. From the video, it's hard to tell what the driver was trying to do. Maybe he just panicked, and froze when he saw the train. It is easy to watch the video and say, "WTF!?" But you shouldn't get yourself in a position where you're that close to the tracks. I wouldn't make a pickup/delivery if his park position was close to the railroad tracks. They said he just got done making the pickup/delivery, and that that the pickup/delivery was pretty close to the tracks. Either way, I wouldn't be moving near that crossing until I was SURE it was clear. If that means I hold up everyone behind me, and they miss the light, then they miss the light. [/QUOTE]
