Yes. The train always has the right of way.FYI: The Emergency Vehicle NEVER has the "right of way", they are responsible for all vehicles at all intersections at all times, they may not proceed through an intersection until ALL other vehicles have stopped and yielded to them.

I seem to recall a time when emergency vehicles did have the absolute right of way but as you say, that does not appear to be the case now in most jurisdictions. |

Lights and sirens are a way of REQUESTING the right of way. If you hit another vehicle while engaged in emergency operation, it's on you. If you get hit by a train, you're an idiot. |
