If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
I don't think it's been posted before. Interesting, I was getting ready to make a remark about the intelligence of the truck driver, but seeing how quickly the train stopped made me wonder, was this staged? Maybe, maybe not.
It's been making the rounds on FB. Supposedly of Russian origin.

A lot of things happen in Russia - that most likely don't happen anywhere else.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
Almost looked staged. Or the driver did not know how far the load extended. He stopped just far enough so the road was cleared by the end of the last car.
Train looks like a track-laying/ track renewal type.

It was. And if it was staged, why?

Just guessing, but maybe a part of an up-coming road safety video?
gregcdid you notice the "Stop" sign?
I did, and will defer to the provided explanation.
OTOH, the equipment and vehicles did not look to be of US origin.

STOP line sign
The word on the sign is Russian for STOP. The sign shows where to stop. Depending on the sitiation that may or may not be directly opposite the light pole.
This is a so-called stop-line for the driver. This sign is an informational one, and isn't used without the traffic-lights or priority signs. By default, the driver must stop vehicle on road-cross near the traffic-lights, so the vehicle does not cross its imaginary line:

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
