As I understand it, the jeep was actually driving down the rails and was between the rails (not at a crossing). As such, it was lower at the point of impact than it would have been had it been on a crossing. From what I understand, the lead car pushed the jeep down the rails until it hit a switch, which then made it easy for the lead car to ride up over the jeep instead of tossing it aside like a cowcatcher would.
