This happened to an ex-friend of mine. The crossing arm failed to lower and as he was crossing the tracks he was hit by a train totaling the car he was driving which was his wife's car. A regular passenger car, nothing special, not a classic or anything, maybe worth 5000 dollars. He called his wife to let her know that he had been hit by a train but that he was OK and she said, "So you wrecked my fucking car!"

That was the end of that marriage.
