Your license or your life should apply to all motorists. Going around the gates or running flashing red lights is just plain stupid. So what if you're in a hurry, it is not worth putting your life or any others for that matter at risk.

i stoped my fully loaded 73000 lb gravel truck at a blind crossing with no lights at the crossing my truck is facing down hill at the crossing i was a tenth of second ready to release the brakes fortunately i heard the the last whistle not the first two whistles the train was shorter than usual with about 10 freight and two passenger cars at the end of it. also he was going a lot faster than what they usually travel there this is close to where i garage my truck thank the lord that that i heard the whistle absolutely no visibility for more than 100 feet down the tracks very glad to see the new gates and lights there 39 years of trucking almost ruined my good driving record two weeks before i retired . i still stop look and listen in my auto that was so close love those train horns !

There was one train wreck in Ft Lauderdale FL 03-17-1993. Amtrak’s silver meteor slams into a gasoline tanker killing the driver and seven other motorists. Fuel erupts 380 ft abo sea level. Engineer suffered 1st and 2nd degree burns. He survived and told his frightening experience. Truck driver did not survive the fiery explosion.

Be careful at single track rr crossings & be extra careful at rr crossings with 2 or more tracks! Safety comes first.
For The portage Indiana crash. The reason that happened was the NICTD crossings were lowering when the driver was waiting for the freight train to pass.
