Bottom line is the driver was totally at fault because he didn’t pay attention to what he was doing or in to big a hurry!!! Next time if there’s a next time watch what you are doing!!!!

You don't know what that train is hauling, and a piece of junk could fall off of it and hit the car or worst come through the windshield. To this day when I come to a track and a train is coming, I stop 20 to 25 feet from the track.
