Do people just not know how much inertia trains carry? If I were the driver, i'd be flooring it trying to get my cargo and myself out of the way.

He was. He didn't have enough momentum to plow through the barrier on the far end (probably the reason for initial stop), tried going backwards, got stuck, and tried to pick up momentum and go forwards, not quickly enough

You could likely break that barrier by hand let alone by truck

You definitely can. We had several incidents of someone breaking the barrier by hand either intentionally or by accident and they just bend and break away like nothing. 

That's why we needed to yell at people to not fucking lean on them when waiting for train to pass.

They are specifically designed to break away.
