Semi VS Train (Way too close)

Описание: This is a dash cam video of me coming to a set of tracks at Lac La Biche Alberta Canada. Note the rail way lights are not working and train suddendly appeared from behind the tree line. I was driving a semi pulling a set of Super-Bs I was empty at the time non dangerous goods. I post this video in hopes of raising awareness when coming to a set of tracks. Please be extra vigilant when it come to trains and their crossings. We take for granted that the light will warn us of approaching trains. In this case not so true.
I was traveling about 20 km/h under the speed limit at the time. I did not hear a train horn.
CN took responsibility right away. especially when they seen I had a dash cam. I was not at fault and I received no fines.
if not for my dash cam I would have been screwed.
Date of accident May 23/18
Bought the dashcam couple weeks prior to incedent not realizing I had sound off while recording.
Song was edited in after incident.
My Roo bar was damaged and in need of replacing. as far as I know there was no damage to the train. The rail lights took one for the team.

Please keep in mind dash cams see ALOT more than a driver in a few ways such as it has a wide recording view, it on the window so can see thing earlier then the driver, object like mirrors can interfere with the view.

For those that say I should have been paying attention and I could have stopped on time, perhaps so. But face it, the people that say that probably would have added up hitting the train cause they also weren't paying close attention. in this video your looking for the train. if you were in my position the results likey would have been the same or worse. Most people rely on technology, in this case the rail lights. I learnt a valuable lesson and I have a whole new perspective of rail crossings. I've been drilling it into everyone'shead that I talk to about rail crossings. NEVER EVER rely on those lights and take a few extra seconds to make sure it's clear.

Only dangerous goods are required to slow right down or stop at crossings. I haul goods that are non-dangerous goods so we're not required to stop.
Also rules may vary depending on where you live.
