In Québec in 1998 during the ice storm, we missed power for 5 weeks. They derailled train to bring them at some place to plug their big diesel generators on the city power system.

Yes they were driving train on the asphalt road, I'm sure you can find pic and videos or it.

And there is also one of those rare "railroad crossing an expressway" in St-Hyacinthe near exit 130 on A20.
