Sometimes it is best to just sit back and enjoy the show.
Many years ago we had a car with the drivetrain locked up stalled on a RR crossing. We could see the locomotive lights way in the distance. Called dispatch and told him to hurry the wrecker and try to stop the train. After a few minutes he called back and said the train was East bound and less than a mile away at 60 mph. They would try to get it stopped, but that we should back up a ways and "sit back and enjoy the show". I was almost disappointed when the train got stopped about 30 yds from the crossing. (the car owner was pretty pleased).
