Well, it's not the first time something like this has happened. I remember back in the 80's when the Susquehanna began running again over long disused (but recently relaid) trackage in northern New Jersey. There were some derailments blocking one-road exits of some housing developments but luckily aside from the hassle of being trapped (which I'm not unsympathetic to, by any means) no-one suffered any ill-effects.
A dead-end road across the tracks? If it's a hunting area it is in the boonies, after all.
"Need to pee?" C'mon, he's a man. The whole world is his bathroom!
WAUKESHA COUNTY — It was a lousy evening for one hunter in Waukesha County. Dan Nowak says he was stranded on the road for roughly three-and-a-half hours Friday, November 17th because of a train stopped in its tracks.

It looks like the location is on the CN, in the middle of the siding at Midway (42.923°N x -88.271°W).
What a great idea: build a dead-end road across the tracks of known location of train meets.
Gee, four hours...can anyone say "Need to Pee"?
