The gates get hit at about 1:10.
:Scared: Wow... that gate became a projectile when the train hit it! Hopefully everyone had stayed in their cars.

He's lucky the gate comes down nice and gentle. The other gate (in front of the camera) could use some adjustment. The tip nearly touches the ground when it's down.

This is rather extreme, SUV driver smashes through the gate and buckles it right in the middle.

How in the world do I even explain this video. Even the police gets their cruisers hit by crossing gates. :LOL3:
