Vehicle Stalls on Railroad Tracks If your vehicle stalls on railroad tracks and you know a train is approaching: Get yourself and any passengers out of your vehicle and off the tracks and move as far from the tracks as possible. To avoid being hit by debris from the collision, exit your vehicle and run, far away from the tracks, in a parallel line in the opposite direction from which the train is moving. The debris field from the collision of train and motor vehicle will travel in the same direction that the train is moving – you want to be as far away as possible in the opposite direction. Railroad crossing information for the motorist: Be alert to signs and roadway markings indicating a railroad crossing is ahead (RR), circular yellow sign. When red signals begin to flash or gates are being lowered, stop, look, and listen. Never attempt to beat the train to the crossing or go around gates that are down. All buses, trucks transporting hazardous material, and certain other vehicles must always stop prior to crossing railroad tracks. Be patient and wait for these vehicles to cross. Although some railroad tracks appear abandoned, never assume a train cannot be present. Assume a train will travel on the tracks, even if the tracks appear to be abandoned. Drivers and passengers in vehicles are at significant risk of serious injury or death when colliding with a train. It may take a train a mile and a half to come to a complete stop after applying the brake. < previous topic > next topic
