There's been so much discussion of grade crossing accidents lately. I found a very interesting and enlightening article when I googled The Engineers View Of Grade Crossing Accidents. I can't seem to get a link, but if you try googling it, you should be able to find it. It's on the oppositelock.jalopnik,com site.
It should be remembered that the story the engineer tells involves the operation of a freight train. The dynamics of passenger train operation are somewhat different, but the basic principles are the same: The train can't stop in time and if you're in the way, you lose.
