What types of vehicles are most likely to get stuck on a railroad-highway crossing?

Lowboys and car carriers are most likely to get stuck on a railroad-highway crossing due to their design and the way they interact with the road surface. These vehicles typically have low ground clearance, making them more susceptible to bottoming out on uneven surfaces, such as the area around a railroad crossing where there may be a dip or incline.

When a lowboy or car carrier approaches a crossing, if the incline is too steep or the ground is uneven, it can lead to the vehicle getting stuck. This situation is particularly concerning because it can impede train operations, potentially leading to serious accidents.

While sports cars, sedans, motorcycles, and scooters have different design features that generally allow them to navigate over crossings without much issue, they are less likely to face the same risk of getting stuck as lower-profile vehicles like lowboys and car carriers. Similarly, private vans and RVs, while they may have height and weight factors to consider, typically do not have the same low ground clearance that makes lowboys and car carriers more vulnerable in these scenarios.
