Your car stalls on a railroad crossing. The crossing lights are not flashing, and you see no train. What should you do first?
A is stalled across the rails. No train is visible, the crossing lamps are dark, and no person has yet left the car.
Correct answer: Get everyone out of the car and away from the tracks
Why
A train cannot stop quickly; the guide says that it can take up to a mile. The rule to get out does not depend on whether you see a train or whether the lights flash. After everyone is safe, call the phone number on the crossing's blue and white Emergency Notification System sign and give the crossing ID number, or dial 911 if there is no sign.
