Your car stalls on a railroad crossing and will not restart. You hear a train horn and see a train coming from your left. What should you do?
Northbound car A is stalled across a railroad track. Train B approaches from the left, facing right toward the crossing. A crossbuck stands beside A’s approach, and the caption states that A will not restart and B’s horn is sounding.
Correct answer: Get everyone out and walk away from the tracks toward the train at a 45-degree angle, then call for help.
Why
If your vehicle is stuck on the tracks, get everyone out right away. Walk toward the oncoming train and away from the tracks at about a 45-degree angle, because debris from a crash moves out in the train's direction of travel. Then call the Emergency Notification System (ENS) number posted at the crossing to report the stalled vehicle, and call 911. To prevent this, never stop on the tracks; if you must stop, stop before the crossing.
