Can you hear the train coming when you are standing on the track?
Yes you can hear a train coming standing in the vicinity of the tracks. You should never stand on or between the rails.

If you are at a station you should stand on the outside of the yellow line.

If your vehicle stalls on a railroad crossing what should you do?
Get out of the vehicle, and either run toward the train (stay off the tracks to avoid being hit by your vehicle or any debris from the crash), or run perpendicular to the tracks. Running in either direction protects you from the direct effects of the collision.
What would be the problem if railway tracks are not parallel lines?
If the tracks are not parallel, the wheels will not stay on the tracks; train wheels are spaced at a fixed width, or gauge, and that width cannot expand or contract to accommodate non-parallel tracks. Thus, if the tracks were non-parallel, the wheel would come off the track and cause a derailment.

Why do train sets fall of the tracks?
When an electric train set falls off the tracks, it is usually because the manufacturer did not build the pieces accordingly. It can also be because the track assembler didn't put the track tight enough together and there are to many gaps and bumps for the train to run smoothly. It may also be because the electric train has too much power and builds up too much momentum to stay on the railing.

Some are killed by falls off railroad bridges and trestles. Alcohol is often a factor . Some few are killed while they are passengers or stowaways on a train.
