Railroad crossings are designed around the physical limits of trains, not driver reaction time. A freight train can weigh thousands of tons and often requires a mile or more to come to a complete stop, even under emergency braking. Unlike road vehicles, trains cannot swerve to avoid obstacles, and engineers rely entirely on clear tracks and functioning crossings to operate safely.

In the video shown, a Ferromex freight train collides with a semi truck trailer at a railroad crossing in Mexico. Incidents like this typically occur when large vehicles misjudge clearance, attempt to beat the train, or become stuck while crossing. Once a train is visible, there is rarely enough distance or time for it to slow meaningfully before impact.

Collisions between trains and trucks are especially dangerous because of the mass difference and rigid structure of rail equipment. Even when outcomes are less severe than they could be, the forces involved can derail trains, damage infrastructure, and put crews and nearby motorists at risk. Railroad crossings are engineered safety systems, and respecting their signals and clearances is critical to preventing incidents like this.
