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.Wiki User

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.
