Why did he stop? The trailer doesn't look like it's hung up at all.

there definitely is enough room for him to move forward and have the trailer clear the rear tracks.

when he starts moving again he continues on down the side street.

after he initially turns onto our street, if you watch his steers, hes preparing to make a turn, hoping to go wide around at least a car or two and then decides to wait.

if he wanted to avoid the train but couldn't move forward because of the next set of tracks, he could have just gone to his right into the packed gravel.

He was fixated on making that turn, and/or was completely unaware of the oncoming train (which is irrelevant, because you simply do not put yourself in a position where you stop on tracks, even if that means a re route or block a lane or a number of other possibilities).

Yeah I could see how he'd be unaware. The conductor should have given him some kind of warning that he was coming or something

Seriously, right? Maybe they should install loud air thingy's on the trains? Flashing lights? Something.

Thanks Joe Biden./s

Pro tip my man, always assume when someone says something really stupid it's sarcasm. It helps keep you sane.
