The collision occurred at the uncontrolled Porch Prairie Avenue gravel road crossing, which has no electronic warning devices or gates, officials said.

This had better change fast.

I know of none that can’t hear a train coming. The article seems to suggest the truck was stopped on the track and not subject to poor timing. The photos show that the truck could have seen the train from a considerable distance.

The state should have been on this earlier. There have been a lot of complaints about this crossing and nearby crossings because it's a busy section of track. There may be only two Amtrak trains that pass this crossing but on a busy day there can be dozens of freight trains that pass it. But the state was getting around to it.
