It doesn't say in those exact words, no. First line of the site says to call the railroad. Last line of that section says to call 911 or local if you can't find the emergency number to railroad which to me still implies call railroad first if you can.

Yes, the site does tell you (not in these specific words) call the railroad before 911.

The number for RR is usually posted at or near the crossing, and like has been mentioned by others it's a direct call to the RR that operates the line. True 911 might be easier for whoever is calling, but more likely to get a stop sooner by calling the number provided, rather than the middleman of dispatch trying to call.
