Your vehicle has stalled on railroad tracks. A train is approaching and the warning lights are flashing. What should everyone do first?
A is stalled on a railroad track. A red-and-gray locomotive approaches from the left. A US crossbuck, one lit red warning lamp and an enlarged flashing-lamp detail are visible. No escape route is shown.
Correct answer: Get out and run from the tracks, diagonally toward the train.
Why
Get everyone out immediately. Move away from the tracks diagonally toward the approaching train’s direction, not along the track or toward the vehicle’s likely debris path. Once away from danger, call 911. Do not stay to save the vehicle.
