Put it into first or second gear and continuously turn the ignition key. Doing so will lurch the vehicle forward on the starter motor and off the crossing before a train arrives. If a train is not expected, get out and push the vehicle off the line.

∙ 8y agoBumping it forward with the starter only works on vehicles with a manual (with a clutch) transmission, assuming your starter doesn't burn out before you clear the tracks, and assuming you have enough time to clear the tracks before a train comes. Trying this is not good advice. What I'd recommend is that you get all occupants out of the vehicle, get away from the tracks, call the police so that they can contact the railroad authority and hopefully temporarily stop or divert any trains scheduled to pass through that crossing until your vehicle can be safely removed.

∙ 8y agoAs you are looking both ways on the tracks for on coming trains and the vehicle doesn't immediately start backup, get out of the vehicle and get away from the tracks.

get out of the vehicle and run toward the train but stay off the tracks to avoid being hit by your vehicle or any debris from the crash.
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.

If your vehicle stalls on the railroad crossing?
If your vehicle stalls on a railroad crossing, it is of course a good idea to try to get it off. If you cannot get it off, get away from your vehicle, and call for help. If you see a train coming, walk towards the train, because when the train hits your vehicle, debris is more likely to fly the direction the train is moving. Remember that no vehicle is worth more than your life, and it is almost impossible for a train to stop. Also, if you see a train coming, it is better to run and save yourself and not the vehicle.
What do you do if you are stopped at a crossing where there is more than one set of tracks?
If the signal is telling you to stop - then wait behind the give-way line, until the train has passed. Once you start moving, keep going until you clear all the tracks. If your vehicle stalls while crossing, get OUT of the vehicle, and use the emergency telephone to summon help.
If your vehicle stalls on a railroad crossing?
Get out and move away from the tracks. If a train is coming move back further and take a video of the crash for youtube. If not, and you can't push it off the tracks call someone who will. Police cars have a special pushing attachment on the front. While waiting stand at least 15 feet from the nearest rail.
How far should you stay back from train tracks?
when a train is going by, about 30ft i think
How can you keep your train from jumping the tracks?
The way a person can keep their train from jumping the tracks is to make sure the tracks are well maintained. This means the tracks should always be on a level and cleaned surface so that nothing gets between the rail and the train wheel.
When sharing the road with a light rail vehicle what should you do?
Not run into it. The light rail vehicle is a TRAIN; it's going on TRACKS. It can't swerve or turn, and the brakes aren't all that good. Don't get in its way.
Would it be possible to build a train track that floats on water?
Sure, make the train tracks from materials that (in total) are lighter (less dense) than water. Presumably you want the train tracks to support a train as well; in that case, the weight of a certain piece of train tracks, plus the total weight of the train, should be less than the weight of the water displaced by the train tracks.
