Your car stalls on railway tracks and cannot be moved. What should you do first?
Correct answer: Get everyone out and away from the tracks, then call 911.
Why
Get everyone away from the vehicle and tracks immediately. If a train is approaching, move away at an angle toward the direction it is coming from to avoid debris thrown forward by impact. From a safe place call 911 and the railway emergency number on the blue ENS sign, giving the crossing identification. Do not return to the vehicle.
