My Dad worked for the railroad for 40+ years and had to go out to scenes like this. He would get so pissed because he said 99% of the time it was someone who didn't pay attention to the lights, tried to drive around the gates because they didn't want to wait for the train, or simply wanted to outrun the train. He could only think of twice that there was actual mechanical failure to the crossing lights/gate.
I don't know where this happened but lots of RR crossings here don't have gates or lights. If you're not paying attention you could cross a RR track and not realize it until you feel the bumps.
