They sense train locations by running a few volts across the rails; the wheels and axles short between the rails. But snow and ice also conduct current and can mess up the sensors. I used to cross a railroad track on my way home from a night-shift job, and it was pretty common to have to ignore the flashing lights and bells, of course after stopping, looking, and listening for a real train.
This is the first time I've seen a malfunction that said the train had left when it was still coming.
