If your vehicle stalls on railroad tracks and a train is coming, you should:
- A.Stay in the vehicle and keep trying to start it
- B.Get everyone out and move away from the tracks at an angle toward the train's approach side, clear of the tracks
- C.Push the vehicle alone while standing on the tracks
- D.Wait in the vehicle with seat belts on
Correct answer
B. Get everyone out and move away from the tracks at an angle toward the train's approach side, clear of the tracks
Why
Abandon a stalled vehicle on the tracks and move everyone well away from them. A train cannot stop in time, and debris can be thrown along the track area.
