Yes, if there is no other force acting upon the railroad track then you would be able to hear the train about a mile away. Unfortunately this is dangerous because there is no way to tell exactly how far away the train is.
Yes, you would hear a change in pitch. As the train approaches you, the pitch of the whistle would sound higher because the sound waves are compressed. As the train moves away from you, the pitch would sound lower as the sound waves are stretched out. This is known as the Doppler effect.
Enslaved African-Americans escaped to freedom on the Underground Railroad by following a network of secret routes and safe houses. They were often aided by free African Americans, sympathetic white abolitionists, and conductors who helped them travel north to free states or Canada. The network relied on secrecy and code language to evade capture and reach safety.
It is the same time in Leicester as London. London is the capital and Leicester is a city in the UK which is North of London.
Debris washed away by a tsunami can be carried by the water for long distances, spreading out in the ocean. Some of it may eventually sink to the ocean floor, while other items may be found washed up on distant shores or floating in the water. Efforts are made to track and clean up this debris to reduce its impact on marine life and ecosystems.
Footprints leading away from the meeting of animals could indicate that one of the animals left the area after the meeting. The direction of the footprints can give clues about the animal's movement and intentions. Following these footprints could help track the animal's path and behavior.
You may not park within ______ of a railroad track.

yes
The Best thing to do if a train IS NOT coming is to put it in first gear and push it off and jump back in or start the car up and move it off if possible. If a train IS coming then get out of the car and move as far away as possible
no she ran away from home and died on a railroad track
When approaching a railroad crossing with a train coming, you should stop at least 15 feet away from the tracks. This distance ensures your safety and allows enough space for the train to pass. Always be alert and look for signals or signs indicating the presence of a train.
Your vehicle should be 15 feet from a train track.
Should wait till the train passes away.
If someone is with you put the car in neutral and push it off the tracks while watching for the approach of a train. If you see a train coming run as far away from the car as possible. If you see or hear no train you should be able to push it off the track unless you are by yourself. Never get into this situation by never stopping on the tracks.
The train is travelling 1 mile each minute, so you have 4 minutes to get off the track.
The way I understand it, they put their ear to the track to listen or feel the vibrations of the train coming, sort of like when a doctor uses a stethoscope to listen to your body. Allow me to add: A train track is a solid piece of metal sometimes as long as 1000 miles. a train can weigh 2-12 million pounds. this creates a lot of kinetic energy that will be felt many miles in both directions. it can also tell you if a train is coming closer or going away from you. This doesn't work with stagecoaches though.
The three types of maglev trains are EDS (electrodynamic suspension), EMS (electromagnetic suspension) and stabilized permanent magnet suspension (SPM). * For EMS, same pole electromagnets in the train repel it away from a magnetically conductive track. * The EDS uses electromagnets on both the track and the train, to push the train away from the track. * SPM uses opposite arrays of permanent magnets to magnetically levitate the train above the track. http://trains.suite101.com/article.cfm/maglev_trains
