Your car stalls on the tracks at a railroad crossing, and a collision with a train is imminent. After getting yourself and your passengers out of the car, you should:
|
Run toward the train but stay off the tracks.
|
|
|
Get back into the vehicle.
|
|
|
Signal the train to stop.
|

Cross the tracks.

Explanation
If your car stalls on the tracks at a railroad crossing and a train is approaching, everyone in the vehicle must exit immediately. Move away from the tracks by running in the direction from which the train is coming. This ensures you are behind the point of impact and reduces the risk of injury from flying debris. Running in the same direction as the train could result in serious harm from debris. Once safe, call 911 to report the emergency.
