Keep your seat belt fastened and use your horn if you see a train approaching.
Call the police.
Use four-way emergency flashers and call the emergency number.
Immediately get yourself and the other passengers out and away from the car.
Explanation

If your car stalls on the tracks at a railroad crossing, immediately exit the vehicle with all passengers. Even if no train is visible, move away from the tracks. If a train is approaching, run toward the train but at a 45-degree angle away from the tracks to avoid potential debris from a collision.
If no train is approaching and the warning lights are not flashing, exit your vehicle and immediately contact the Emergency Notification System (ENS) using the number posted on the railroad crossing sign or metal control box near the tracks. Then, call 911.
