Red lights begin flashing at a railroad crossing. What must you do?
A approaches railroad tracks with a crossbuck and flashing red warning lamps beside its lane.
Correct answer: Stop before the tracks until the lights stop and all tracks are clear.

An active railroad signal closes the crossing until the warning ends and every track is clear. A second train can follow the first. Stay stopped while the warning lights flash and until every track is clear.
