Thats no sand, mates! These are breaks! When the driver has to brake fast, he has to use quickly the mechanical brakes instead of the electrical resistor brake. The new ecological brakes don't have lead any more. So when he quickli has to break then they smoke a bit (I'm a traindriver by myself...)! Hope I could clear that...

Fire? Burning? No- that's just sand...

I think the horn should have to be used always if approaching an road intersection as well whilst passing a station, and at least if there are not fully closed banks (means a half-banked intersection).

First of all, when the driver sands the tracks, it a question of traction, not one of lack of horsepower. The power was there, if he really did sand the tracks the wheels of the engines slipped. Second, these were German engines, I think 142s. Although the crossing looks to be in the Netherlands. Especially in Germany we close the crossings a lot earlier than in the US, like 2-3mins before the train arrives. No horns are sounded.

@likornnoir In Estonia we do horn when approaching the crossing...

@lightpaws25 We usually dont horn in Europe when approaching a level crossing.
