Wow, glad that everyone is o.k. That brings back vivid memories for me. A few years ago I was "T-Boned" by a tractor trailer while making a left turn at an intersection and luckily myself and the employee beside me were unharmed. Trucker was fine too. My pickup was a write-off as was my equipment trailer. Take it from me, do not trust that oncoming vehicles will stop...even for a red light...if you are turning left. WAIT until they come to a complete stop, THEN make your left.

In your case, it's MAKE SURE no trains are coming BEFORE crossing the tracks, and don't trust signal lights because they might not be functioning...or even there at all.

Equipment can be replaced, lives can't. On the bright side, no one got hurt and maybe you'll get more in insurance replacement coverage than you would have by selling it privately to begin with. Tough way to find out though...
