This video by the CMC Media Group explains the dangers of train crossings and how drivers can avoid serious injury or death by following a few simple instructions.
Regarding 5:37 - 8:03, I knew EXACTLY what was going to happen. And hey; Conrail used to run freight trains through my area, too! (Now CSX runs the freight trains here.) And the bit at 8:26 - 9:07, I kind of figured that the train approaching would've really been a speeding Amtrak train, complete with F40PH locomotive!
And a hidden rule is: if there are two or more tracks, don't attempt to cross right after one train passes, as there could be another train approaching seconds later.

We watched this in driver's ed back in 1990 a few months after a classmate was killed in a car-train crash.

Although GTE merged with Bell Atlantic to form Verizon more than a decade ago, I still find this video helpful for safety. ❤
Nice GTE video! Before GTE bought Contel and merged with Bell Atlantic to become Verizon Communications
Thanks for the useful advice. Now I understood the importance of railway sirens
Bells, not sirens.
There goes is weekend plans. I love those tacky clips when the dirty car is driving down the dirt road and bumping along. Lol.

Thanks for scaring me for absolutely no reason, railroad crossing.
Ohh, Tom...."better late than never" means what it means.
