Can you survive being run over by a train?
Only if it's a very small toy train. Nobody survives being run over by full-size trains; there is also a high likelihood that if someone was in the position of about to be run over by a train, they are probably going to step of the part of the train track which electric current runs through. So they will either die by being hit by the train, or by being electrocuted first.

Can trains hit other trains?
Trains can hit other trains. There are many systems designed to prevent this. There are 3 types of train to train collisions - Head on collision - The front of one train hits the front of another train. Rear end collision - The front of one train hits the rear of another train. Flanking collision - The front of a train hits the side of a train. In addition to train to train collisions, individual railroad cars that are not yet part of a train occasionallt hit or are hit. This usually occurs in a railroad yard and usually no one is hurt and there is very little damage. Train also are in collisions with cars and trucks at highway-railroad grade crossings. 25% of the time, the car or truck runs into the side of the train. The rest of the time, nearly all collisions are because the car or truck driver failed to obey the highway rules. Unfortunately, this type of collision is responsible for more deaths and injuries than all other type combined by a very large margin.

How you make electromagnetic train?
: How to make a model electromagnetic train ? : What I'am telling is not exactly an train but a car which moves along the track and the principle used by it is not like the principle used by maglev but you can make a train as well by using the same principle. : First you need some electromagnets ,a simple and powerful magnet ,a toy car in which the magnet can be placed . : Now ,first you need to make a track with help of a cardboard .Now make a track identical to the track you made before and place electromagnets ibetween the tracek and fix them .You will now need two switches ,connect each swith with a battry and magnets in such a way that on turning on the switch alternate magnets will start working .Put the car on the track and fit a simple magnet in it . : Turn on one of the switch ,the car will move now turn off the switch and switch on the other ,the car will move forward and repeat the process and the car will move along the track . : You can also make this model by using only one switch ,think on it ,it's easy .
