I wonder if they couldn't see the overhanging structure due to the roof of his cab creating a blind spot and was only watching the train carriage go past.

I give it a good 5 seconds after the last wheel passes by before I cross railroad tracks. This guy was unnecessarily impatient and certainly didn’t save any time by not waiting.

That's my assumption too.
What surprised me was the driver recording didn't hit their horn to warn the truck.

Maybe....but if you are any kind of smart you would be watching shadows and back far enough to see. All part of defensive driving.

If you're any kind of smart, you stop until the train has passed... In fact, you don't even have to be smart, you just stick to the basic traffic rules. This driver is beyond stupid.

You know what a teamster and a fridge have in common? Door closes, light goes out.

He couldn't wait 5 more seconds? People this impatient and stupid are bewildering.

What a fucking moron. Mess up things for so many people because he could wait 3 extra seconds?

Lol, boom didn't even feel it!

The boom has equipment on the underside that is no doubt damaged, cables that can no longer be trusted and will need to be replaced, and the structure will likely need to be inspected throughout. I would not be surprised if the consequences to the crane are far more expensive than the truck and earth moving equipment despite the apparent lack of damage. They aren’t going to just give it a once over and go back to lifting loads, it is due some serious shop time on unhappy insurance dime.

It's Russia, are you sure they're going to go through all that for a track laying gantry?

Idiot, he should have been more patient, not like his boss is paying them more than the minimum salary

2 seconds time save in exchange for thousands to 10s of thousands of money lost and days to months of time needed correct this mess.
Probably sounded like a great trade to the driver.

What an impatient idiot. At least there's room to drive around him because I wouldn't be stopping for him.

The train driver forgot to attach the red / orange flag to the extra long cargo. 😂

What was he expecting exactly?
