A MBTA commuter rail train was heading outbound from Wakefield Station after the engine broke down at the station. Another engine was called in to aid the train along. As the train approaches the Prospect St. crossing, the gates fail to go down and a collision almost happens.

Sorry about the low quality. I was filming this with just a cell phone. The memory card on my phone filled up just before this video which left me with the normal internal storage. Because of this, I could only take 30 seconds of footage which is why the video ends suddenly. There was more at the beginning, but I edited that out.
The engineer should have blown the horn a few times to either scare them from crossing or let them know that there's a train coming in case they didn't notice it
