but I just meant physically getting a vehicle in that position. that wasn't at a road crossing, it was up on a raised bed. you could see even the cop had trouble climbing up there. it is chunky and kind of loose fist sized pieces of rock on a bed about 3 or 4 feet high, then another 10 inches or so of track that is hard to drive a vehicle over (I know I have had to do it before) higher than any parking curb.

cop may have seen the car's tail lights, the video is kind of hard to make out but that is what it looked like to me. might have had a call about it too and knew where to look.
