Railway barriers can lower in between two double trailers [48960]

[mambanoir]

Actual:
A double trailer can get stuck on railway tracks if the barrier lowers just when the first trailer has cleared the crossing and the gap with the second trailer lines up with the second barrier when the barrier lowers again for the next train.
Users are forced to call service to teleport to the next service station.

Expected:
Railway barriers cannot be triggered by the free space in between two double trailers.

Game Version: 1.29.1.17 @ 64bit Linux
Reproducibility: 100%
Location: any railway crossing

Notes: The screenshot was taken at the westernmost railway crossing in Gallup though this can occur anywhere.

I experienced the same issue moving Heavy Cargo across a railroad crossing . Everything looked ok as i entered the crossing (no train, no flashing lights), but I got "stuck" exiting the crossing as the barriers came down on the back of my heavy cargo (red tread tractor). "Fortunately" the train stopped and honked, but I could not get away.

I was able to workaround the issue by exiting to the profile screen and resuming my delivery, but this still seems wrong and something that may put off newer players.

This one seems like a good reason to contact the trailer modder and ask him to review the collision properties of his trailer. The only way the barrier could go through the trailer and you end up like this, is for the object (the upper part of the trailer) to have no "collision" property. I've seen the same problem with another trailer mod (ported from an older SCS game) I downloaded recently - only half of the trailer body had collision property which lead to the event where the AI goes inside half of the trailer before stopping behind me. No damage done by that but still - not realistic at all.

Well the crossing thing has been a known bug for a while, probably because trains spawn too close and too quickly to the player, so the gates just snap shut, piva had a fix for this, but scs hasn't added it to their own files yet. What also makes it worse is that you can't hear trains either, so what I tend to do at railroad crossings is stop and wait about 2 or 3 seconds then check the devcam to make sure i dont get hit.
