Yes you can hear a train coming standing in the vicinity of the tracks. You should never stand on or between the rails. Unless you are crossing the train tracks at an authorized crossing you should stay away from the outside of the nearest rail by at least 10 to 15 feet minimum. If you are at a station you should stand on the outside of the yellow line.

What is a famous scene from The Lost Boys?
A famous scene from Lost Boys is the railroad track scene. The boys are trying to cross a railroad track bridge and hear a train coming. They must hurry to get across before the train comes without getting stuck.
How can people hear a train when they put their ears to the train tracks?
It is so ,in order to listen or feel the vibrations of the train coming.In addition to it , a railway track being a solid piece becomes a medium ,for the sound of the train ,to propagate.Do not do this yourselfBy the time you have heard the train coming you will not have time to get out of the way.
Is the old saying true that if you put your ear to a railroad track you can hear a train that is mile away?
Yes, if there is no other force acting upon the railroad track then you would be able to hear the train about a mile away. Unfortunately this is dangerous because there is no way to tell exactly how far away the train is.
How do you use rumbling in a sentence?
Example sentence - We could hear the rumbling of the train coming before we could see the train.
What happens to the frequency of the sound as the train draws closer What do you hear?
Well i guess the noise starts getting louder and louder as the train is coming?
In Mario kart 64 can Mario drive faster than a train?
According to our testing Mario can drive faster then a train. to get that answer we drove Mario onto the track and drove into the train after it has just passed. This proves that Mario is faster then a train because to catch up with the train that has just passed we would have had to be faster then the train. Also we tested by waiting on the track until we could hear the train right behind us and we would start driving. Soon after we stopped again and we could barely even hear the train behind us.
What do you if your car stops on a railroad crossing?
If someone is with you put the car in neutral and push it off the tracks while watching for the approach of a train. If you see a train coming run as far away from the car as possible. If you see or hear no train you should be able to push it off the track unless you are by yourself. Never get into this situation by never stopping on the tracks.

You stop at railway tracks and look to see a train so you dont get hit by it crossing. Sometimes music or the engine may be to loud to hear a train coming, always stop and look if there are no lights or gates.
What is the Doppler shift as it applies to light from stars?
You've probably heard the old classical description of the Doppler effect; if you're standing still near a train track, you can hear the sound of the moving train shifted to a higher frequency as the train is coming toward you, and as the train passes by, you can hear the sound shift down in pitch. The sound waves are bunched up a bit as the train is coming toward you, and you hear the train at an increased tone; when the train passes by and moves away from you, the sound waves are stretched out so you hear the sound at a lower pitch. By measuring the change in the sound, you can calculate quite accurately how fast the train was moving when it passed by. For stars, we're not listening to a tone; we're measuring the light spectrum, but the principle is the same. We know what the "normal" frequencies in the starlight would be, for a star not moving towards us or away from us. We measure specific spectrum patterns called "absorption lines". We can detect shifts in these patterns. So, we can measure whether the star is coming toward us (spectral lines at higher frequencies than normal) or is headed away from us (spectrum showing lower frequencies than normal). When we measure the light - and the Doppler shift - of other stars in our Galaxy, we see a mix of stars moving toward us, and stars moving away from us. This is perfectly normal. But when we measure the Doppler shift of the light from other galaxies, we see that most of the other galaxies are moving away from us, and that the farther away they are, the faster they are moving! Note: For those who like a bit of extra detail: The change in the light from distant galaxies is not a true Doppler shift. It's similar, but is caused by the expansion if space itself.
What is it called when you can hear something coming closer?
When you hear something coming closer, it is called "waxing". The opposite of which is "waning".
