If I was unfamiliar with th e crossing, I’d probably back up, too - to make sure the front of the truck wasn’t torn off by the train.
In this case, though, there’s a hell of a lot of space between gate and tracks.

The tracks are pretty easy to make out in that well-lit intersection. Maybe he was just afraid of getting hit by a crossing pedestrian. :P

Lol. I think his brain was in reverse, maybe.

Holy smokes that’s a bumpy crossing for any vehicle. Has the state not heard of reinforced aprons for vehicle approaches to railway crossings? The one on the main highway near here can be legally crossed doing 80 km/h and barely be felt...even at 120 km/h there’s nowt to be concerned about.

Yeah, American crossings frequently don’t work like that. Railroads have historically had a lot of power, so places can’t make them make the crossings smooth, and municipalities don’t want to spend the money themselves. Where I lived in Houston, there was a crossing on a fairly major six lane artery, and it would tear you up if you crossed at more than 20mph (32km), and I’ve even had gotten slammed going slower than that in one lane, which I guess had worse characteristics. And that’s setting aside the fact that it’s absurd to have a grade crossing on such a busy road (one crossing on this set of tracks was a bridge but the rest were all at grade).
With our crossings, as long as vehicles aren’t frequently high-centering, that seems to be flat enough.
