In short: This warning sign means there is a railway level crossing without barriers ahead. It is a red-bordered triangle with a black locomotive.
What should you do when you see this sign?

- Do not cross until you have looked both ways and are sure no train is coming.

Where and why is it used?
With no barrier, it is entirely the driver's job to check for trains. Fast trains reach the crossing very quickly; speeding up because you cannot see a train is dangerous.
