This depends upon the type of train, its tonnage. and the speed it is travelling. Passenger trains can stop much faster than a freight train.
A passenger train at normal speeds of 60mph to 110 mph can be stopped in well under a mile, minimum distance as short as 2500 feet.
A heavy freight train traveling at 40mph can take nearly 2 miles to stop.
depends on the mass of the train
heat energy is difficult to stop the train because when they hit the breaks the heat starts

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.
Buses and some other types of commercial vehicles are required to stop at all railroad crossings in order to make sure there is no train coming. This is true even at crossings that have been cut off and can no longer be approached by a train. When there is an Exempt sign at the crossing they are not required to stop. It happens often at tracks that are cut off or abandoned thus there will be no train to stop for.
its depends on your history of driving , where you are , and if their is a train or not
If at all possible if an engineer saw an obstruction on the track he would stop the train. Trains take quite a distance to stop, so they often wind up hitting the obstruction.
This question is complicated to answer. It depends on a number of factors. For one, it depends on what type of train it is. A freight train, for example, can take over 2 miles to completely stop. It also depends on what speed the train is going.
Minimum distance is 1738 kilometers (1080 miles) on a straight line. Road distance is 2047 kilometers (1272 miles) over a 19-hour, non-stop drive.
You stop the train if you want to arrive at a train stop or if there is an enemy you need to fight.
Minimum distance is 3618 kilometers (2249 miles) on a straight line. Road distance is 4642 kilometers (2885 miles) over a 43-hour, non-stop drive.
