It got a taste of what frustrated motorists have to put up whenever a train barrier goes down for what can seem like an eternity and grew tired of waiting.

The big-eared trespasser was captured on camera lifting up its first obstacle with its trunk, paying no attention to a STOP warning sign, before carefully stepping over the barrier on the opposite side and continuing its journey.

“The elephant carefully lifted the barrier with his trunk,” explained stunned witness Roni Chowdhury.

“But even after crossing the barrier, the elephant dropped the barrier back in its place very cautiously.”
