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.

If those kids hadn't told their story, it probably would have been taken as an accident instead of suicide.
