Question:

Which of the following is MOST likely to get stuck on raised railroad crossings?

Answer: A low slung car carrier

Explanation
Emptier vehicles ride higher, which is a problem for overhead clearance, but can be a boon when it comes to clearing crossings. A filled moving fan might have trouble, but an empty one should be fine. On the other hand, a filled low slung unit, like a car carrier, may be in trouble.
