I'll bet a couple of those firemen have been known to yell out..."hey y'all, watch'iss". I certainly hope that is a staged pic.

Perfect for those trains with rubber wheels and suspension systems.

At least it will fire trucks on the scene when the train derails.

I don’t know whose idea, but they’re an idiot. No wonder public employees get a bad rap.

No derailment, the loco will cut through that crap like butter.
Where did this happen? Lou, I can't believe our PA firefighters and emergency responders could show this level of incompetence. Oh wait, never mind...

Hopefully it was more a sign to the loco driver so they realize what they are about to shred. Or "it says right here in the manual when crossing any road..."
Looks like it was in Europe if I had to guess.

They don't have rubber wheels, but they do have suspension systems.

IDK - there could be a good reason for this. Maybe there's no fire hydrant on that side of the tracks or perhaps that section of track isn't being used or perhaps the FD coordinated this with the RR or something we don't know.
I have to admit I don't know why the hose risers are placed the way they are - they certainly wouldn't protect the hose from the train wheels.
