Wait for the train to go by or for the lights to turn off.
Drivers may only cross the tracks of an unguarded railroad crossing secured by a flashing light after the lights have stopped flashing and it is safe to do so. It's important to ensure that no train is approaching from either direction, as the signals indicate that a train is near. Additionally, drivers should always exercise caution and look both ways before crossing, even after the lights have stopped.
it means there is a pedestrian crossing
The flashing light and ringing bell means that a train is coming and you should stop well short of the crossing until the train has passed by. That is the law, it is illegal not to stop. The train has the right of way.
If there are pedestrians still crossing when the amber light is flashing, the motorist must remain stationary. If there are no pedestrians crossing, the motorist can proceed. (But, be careful of pedestrians taking a chance and attempting to cross when the amber light is flashing - it is best to use caution until the light turns green.)
The flashing red light only illuminates when there is a train coming. There should also be gates there too. It means STOP!
When a red light flashes at a railroad crossing, you must stop and wait until the light stops flashing and the way is clear before proceeding.

Active crossing. A highway-railroad grade crossing that has flashing lights with or without crossing gates is called an "active railroad crossing". This is because it is activated automatically by the approach of a train, and shut off as the train passes. In the US, there are crossings that may use flashing lights that are not activated automatically, but nearly all were retired in the US by 1990. The watchman controlled flashing light grade crossing in southern New Jersey made headlines when it was retired in 1990, as the last of its kind in the country.
When approaching a yellow flashing light, you should slow down and proceed with caution.
When approaching a flashing yellow light, you should proceed with caution and be prepared to yield to other vehicles or pedestrians.
