Your car stalls on a railroad crossing and will not restart. You and your passenger have moved well away from the tracks. No train is in sight yet. What does the manual tell you to do next?
Correct answer: Call the emergency number on the blue sign at the crossing and give the crossing information.
Why
The blue sign gives a phone number and the crossing information that tells the railroad the exact location. Trains are heavy and need a long distance to stop, so the railroad needs the call early. Before you cross any tracks, make sure there is room for your whole vehicle on the other side.
