You can't, that is an expression to illustrate what someone may do when someone else points out something that they had not thought about for foreseen.
The expression means to prevent someone from continuing his or her way along a path
Buses stop at railroad tracks to ensure that trains are not close by. Buses are longer than cars and therefore need more time to get across the tracks.
He knew someone was going to kill him to stop him in his tracks
To clothesline someone means to thrust out an arm horizontally to stop them in their tracks, usually by hitting them in the neck or throat area. It is a move commonly seen in professional wrestling.
They're 'ballast' - something solid to stop the tracks sinking into the ground.
Several factors can stop a train in its tracks, including mechanical failures, signal malfunctions, track obstructions, or emergency brakes being activated.
Well you are required to stop 3 feet minimum of the tracks but im sure if the tracks are operational there will be gates that come up and down they are usually about 10 feet away
You must stop within 50 feet but no closer than 15 feet of the railroad crossing. Never stop on railroad tracks or go when the gate is down.

If your car is stuck on the tracks, and a train is approaching- then YES- get OUT of the car and get off the tracks. It is not that the train engineer does not want to stop, it is that he CANNOT stop- it may take a mile or more in distance to fully stop a heavy train. You will lose the car, but you will keep your life.
