Most of them are elevated, this just happens to be a low spot. If It's the place I'm thinking of, there's a curve and the engineer probably couldn't see how deep the snow was until he was in it.
Don't know what the second unit is. Believe it or not, this is about 25 miles from where I live and our daughter emailed me these photos from Washington DC. She picked them up on the Internet somewhere.
It might also be the spot where a guy I knew committed suicide a number of years ago. There's a grade crossing on a curve where the train crew can't see the crossing till they're right on it. The flip side is there's a stop sign because vehicle traffic can't see trains coming, and not enough traffic to rate cross arms.
This fellow I knew parked his car across the tracks when he knew a train was coming and laid down on the front seat. A couple of teenagers came along and asked if he was having trouble. He replied he was OK and knew what he was doing. The kids left and shortly thereafter a train came along and crunched him.
If those kids hadn't told their story, it probably would have been taken as an accident instead of suicide.
