Based on personal experience, (family cattle ranch with a small bison herd), "buffalo" (more accurately, "bison"), cattle and horses have no problem crossing railroad tracks (and no, we did not have to "train" them to do it).

Bison herds were a major issue for the early trans-continental railroads (e.g. "...Union Pacific responded by increasing security and by hiring marksmen to kill Bison (commonly known as American buffalo) which were both a physical threat to trains and the primary food source for the Plains Indians.")

Not sure where the original poster got his information, but he clearly has no experience with horses or cattle/bison.

***INCORRECT*** Yes but only if they are trained to do so. Their depth perception makes them think they are stepping off into an abyss. Horses are the same way. ***INCORRECT***

What steps will you take when crossing railroad tracks?

When approaching railroad tracks, I will first slow down and look for any warning signs or signals indicating an oncoming train. Next, I will listen for any sounds of a train and ensure the tracks are clear before proceeding. If the lights are flashing or gates are lowering, I will stop and wait for the train to pass. Finally, I will cross the tracks only when it is safe to do so, ensuring I have enough space to clear the tracks completely.

What is the correct way to cross railroad tracks?

To cross railroad tracks safely, first stop and look both ways for any approaching trains. Listen for warning signals and check for flashing lights or lowered gates. Only cross when you are sure no train is coming, and proceed quickly across the tracks without stopping. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid distractions while crossing.
