Is being dumb illegal?

The driver decided to cross the tracks, but didn't want to bother going to a crossing.
The tracks are the mainline of the Union Pacific through Missouri (formerly the MoPac), about 50 west of St. Louis. Train traffic was stopped for 30 minutes.
I would love to know what the two cops are saying!

Yeah, it's too bad they did stop the train. Otherwise, this idiot was a major contender for the first Darwin Award of 2006.
==============================
There are 80 freight and four AMTRAK trains across those tracks each day, so it's a wonder they didn't get hit -- it probably took the UP dispatchers in Omaha the rest of the day to get the trains all running again -- must have been rich kids since the names weren't released
