Urban legend or factual?

It has been stated that some Union Pacific grade crossings include a sign which says...

Union Pacific trains cross this at 80mph - whether you are on it or not.

That wouldn’t play well in court. 
Amtrak is the only train going over 60 mph

Which style? Remember, the almost invisible wedge at far right will clear snow like gang busters... at 60mph... unless it hits something big and tough and heavy hidden in a drift.

I read a story about a large plow engine in the Western mountains hitting a drift multiple times, and the last time they backed up, the plow was still in the drift.
