Your vehicle is stalled on railroad tracks and a train is approaching. What should you do?
Car A is stalled on the tracks as a train approaches from the left. A US railroad crossbuck identifies the crossing.
Correct answer: Get out and move away from the tracks, toward the train
Why
Moving toward the train but away from the tracks helps you avoid debris that is likely to travel in the train's direction after impact. Once safely away from the tracks, call the railroad’s posted emergency telephone number; look for the nearby blue emergency sign.
