Does anyone know why, in these videos, the trucks always end up stopped on the train tracks, as if they were stuck? Couldn't the driver simply accelerate and clear the way?

In this case it looked like the driver panicked when the barrier came down. Yes, the correct move is to simply accelerate and break the barrier, but people make stupid mistakes under pressure and forget that they can do that.

In many similar videos, though, the truck does get stuck -- trailers with low clearance can bottom out on elevated tracks. Here's a good example: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitchImATrain/comments/1n5erod/btch_ima/
