Thanks for the video. Something I like very much is that of the three motorists that stopped for the crossing arms is they stayed a distance BACK from the Limit Line. I do the same thing acct it's added safety precaution from debris falling(brake shoes, etc.) off railcars(at 60mph) or even the possibility of one of the railcars coming off the track(at 60mph). Personally having worked as a conductor for 37 years I always want Room to Run when things go wrong. In that many years of being around trains I've seen it all. At Any Time, On Any Track, in Either Direction!

Yes, the recent attention on derailments has reiterated the need for vigilance at all times.
Nice video!
Thanks!
