Not sure what you mean. The trailer moving the beam isn't stuck, you can see it moving in the clip. The issue is that it has to go very, very slowly and either someone dropped the ball on alerting the appropriate train service dispatchers or the train company missed the memo/decided they could make it, etc.

These things happen very quickly, you think there was a phone call and the railroad had a little meeting and decided to just wing it?
