Pretty much every UK level crossing I've ever seen has a warning sign with a number to ring for heavy/oversize loads, if not a physical phone to a signal box. Wonder if there was something similar there?

I would have thought that the operators of that train line know exactly what time anything that uses the line will be crossing that road for every minute of the day. The fact that two gigantic, expensive lumps need to use the crossing in a certain time period could have been worked out very easily.

If only there was a system in place where you knew when trains were due to arrive at certain places.
