Metra vs Multiple Cars

We had one here a few months ago - someone managed to get stuck on the crossing, then the barriers came down. No damage done as it's a manually-activated crossing (train stops, crew member climbs down and pushes a button to start the lights and barriers). By this stage the wally who had failed to ensure that there was enough space for their car was panicing rather than actually doing anything sensible (such as either bailing out or reversing parallel to the barrier - this used to be a twin-track crossing so there'd be ample room if you moved onto the part where the second track used to be). I can but hope the experience scared them enough to stop them doing something equally daft on a line with automated barriers and non-stop trains...
