You need to spend some quality time in Michigan and Ohio.  Trains cross at street level on major thoroughfares.  They have teensy weeny little plywood arms that come down to "prevent" traffic from crossing the tracks while a train is chuggin' through.

We also have "Breaking News!.....This just in...a speeding train collided with a car trying to beat the barricade arms.  Police on the scene report that there are likely no survivors in the car."

Where I'm from, the tracks are either below street level or bridge over the street.


BTW.....in the original photo, the train COULD have been going the opposite way.  Heavy trains often have an engine at each end.  Makes "reverse" a lot easier.

This is likely the case:  note the brakeman (fella with the hard hat).  He's walking towards the rear of the train meaning that it could be spotting a cut of cars onto an industrial spur.  From what I can tell, though, there isn't an engine on the other end.

Looks to me like the road curves right.  Engine in the other direction would be around the curve an not visible in this shot.

The train in question is CSXT # Y225, a local freight out of Tampa.  Based on videos I've seen, this is not back up move and there isn't another locomotive on the other end.  Bear in mind too, that the compression of a telephoto lense makes the shot look a little more dramatic than it actually was but the guy was still fairly close enough to the train that he had little room for error.  From the video below, you can see a few people making a dash across the tracks as the Y225 was a little longer on that day that it rated two units on the head end (BTW, you should be proud to know that these loco's are GM products  ;)).

Yeah two of my acquaintances sent out an email yesterday saying that this is not funny etc. One of them is actually the one I think Rihanna was modeled after. She was HOT mad! lol.
