Agreed.  One of the first rules of driving a truck (or anything else, for that matter) is never drive onto a crossing unless there's room to drive OFF before you start.  If you can't clear the crossing in one movement don't even try.

Unless my eyes are deceiving me (possible) it looks to me like the trailer landing gear was not raised high enough.Which is definitely driver error.Of course the train crew will get a piss test to check for drugs.

I have to say kudos to the engineer as he stayed at the helm and continued to blow for the crossings after the impact.
