Close call
Title:  Close call
Description:  Yes, the train and SUV are as close as they appear to be, but it isn't as bad as it first seems. The 4042 was creeping forward at less than a walking speed. As the gates started comming down, this car just stops in the middle of the tracks. The 4042 came up to the road and stopped, and waited for a little bit. The car didn't move, so the 4042 went ahead, with inches to spare.
