The 15-second clip shows the train approaching a level crossing at speed when a man wearing a cap is seen rushing across from one side of the line to the other.
A level crossing is an intersection where a railway line crosses a road, path, or (in rare situations) airport runway, at the same level, [1] as opposed to the railway line or the road etc. crossing over or under using an overpass or tunnel.
Level crossings in Indonesia tend to be congested by traffic, thus most of them are not automatic like in Western countries, so level crossing watchmen (id:PJL/Petugas Jaga Lintasan) are usually posted at every crossing; these are employees from the railway company.
The time interval may be controlled by a level crossing predictor, an electronic device which is connected to the rails of a railroad track, and activates the crossing's warning devices (lights, bells, gates, etc.) at a consistent interval prior to the arrival of a train at a level crossing. [1]
