Railroad tracks can cause problems for motorcycles. In some situations if a motorcycle is ridden on the tracks at a crossing it can cause an accident. Motorcycles should cross railroad tracks as perpendicular to the rails as possible to avoid problems.
No real problem, but what we want to do is drive over them so that the tracks are perpendicular to our bikes, or at least as perpendicular as possible.

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.
Yes it is illegal and also dangerous to walk along the side of railroad tracks. Many people walking to close to the tracks have been hit and killed by oncoming trains. Further it is considered trespassing to walk anywhere on the railroad right of way outside of crossing the tracks at an established grade crossing.
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.
The one that doesn't exist. Now, let me add some explanation. A railroad crossing can be counted as a bridge crossing as well, thus that is the safest way to cross cars and people over train tracks.
The speed limit is 15 MPH when a person comes with in 100 feet of a railroad crossing and can not see the tracks for 400 feet in both directions. If there is a flag person at a railroad crossing the car must stop 15 to 50 feet from railroad.
Most assuredly. That's superstition.
Extremely bumpy and rough. They don't have shocks and shuts like cars.
