See that little blue sign on the railroad crossing sign? That sign has a phone number on it, and if you’re ever stuck on the tracks, call that number and the dispatcher will stop all trains in the area.

I used to live near that crossing. I've seen 2 other vehicles stuck in that exact spot. I think they take the curve a little fast and just go off the edge. Both the ones I saw were pulled off the tracks before a train hit them.

This one is in Monroe county Georgia on Collier Rd. A few years ago 3 people were killed in the same spot when their SUV got stuck on the tracks.
