The train was going 8mph.....
Barring a mechanical failure of the car: If the crossing is 20ft wide, and the Mustang was idling at 10mph, and is 20ft long, then the car cut out around the barrier when the train was a mere 30 ft away.

You can hardly blame the woman. Most grade crossings are very ambiguous. There's only the dinging of the bell, the flashing red lights (who could know what THEY mean?) and a barricade.

For some reason I couldn't talk my dad into buying it...
I never understood why people have to go around train barracades. It never ends well. The train might not get you this time.. but eventually it will hunt you down
