It happens all the time. No conspiracy here, just a truck driver who took on a train and lost.

That's probably what happened.

Larry: "Hey Moe! The crossing gate's closing! We're gonna be late again! We'll be fired for sure!"
Moe: "Not if I can help it - I'll go around the gate!"
Curley: "But we'll get hit by the train!"
Moe: "Nah, it's probably a freight train - they're slow"
[truck gets stuck on the tracks]
Larry: "Moe! The train's coming fast! Gun it!"
[Moe guns the truck - it starts to come off]
Moe: "There, you numbskulls - see? I told ya we'd make..." CRASH!

It happens more frequently during harvest season around here. Fatigued drivers under a time crunch.

If you want to stop a train don’t use a truck. You will lose every single time.

It is funny yet sad that so many think this was some sort of attempt to get at the Republicans on board.
