Years back, I watched this drama film about a group of workers at a railroad. What I remember along the plot is that one day, a woman parks her car on a railroad crossing along the line, while it has activated, and is killed in the resulting collision, with her son surviving by getting out just in time. The engineer on the train that hit the car (IIRC) ends up having to raise her son as a result.
Does anybody know which film I'm talking about?
