Yes you can hear a train coming standing in the vicinity of the tracks. You should never stand on or between the rails. Unless you are crossing the train tracks at an authorized crossing you should stay away from the outside of the nearest rail by at least 10 to 15 feet minimum. If you are at a station you should stand on the outside of the yellow line.

In Mario kart 64 can Mario drive faster than a train?

According to our testing Mario can drive faster then a train. to get that answer we drove Mario onto the track and drove into the train after it has just passed. This proves that Mario is faster then a train because to catch up with the train that has just passed we would have had to be faster then the train. Also we tested by waiting on the track until we could hear the train right behind us and we would start driving. Soon after we stopped again and we could barely even hear the train behind us.


What do you if your car stops on a railroad crossing?

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.


How would the boy standing on hears the sound by a man in a moving train blows the train's horn. the train is moving away from a boy standing on the ground.?

The boy standing on the ground would hear the sound as the train’s horn is being blown, but the pitch would gradually decrease as the train moves away from him. This is due to the Doppler effect, where the frequency of the sound waves decreases as the source of the sound moves away from the observer.


What happens to the frequency of the sound as the train draws closer What do you hear?

As the train draws closer, the frequency of the sound you hear increases. This is due to the Doppler effect, where the perceived frequency of a sound source changes relative to an observer's position. The sound waves are compressed in front of the moving train and stretched behind it, affecting the pitch you hear.
