If you would like I can give you proof that UPS puts their trailers on trains.

The bus originally landed on the UPS trailers. |
No proof required. I believe you. I think, deep in the recesses of my mind, I remember seeing just the situation that you described. But, I never commonly saw it.
You know, it just occurred to me that in my life the last few years I rarely have to cross a major RR crossing. Crossings for side tracks, yes, but major ones, no. I have little opportunity to watch trains moving.
