Not sure why they would put something with hidden meanings though at a railroad crossing.

It sounds like it could be close to "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"??
I would think that it means that their are two sets of tracks and if one train is moving from left to right (or right to left) on the far track that it could be hidden by another train on the near track moving in either direction.

I don't know why a driver waiting to cross the tracks would need that warning, but then again... well... you know!
