There are several ways to teach a horse (or pony; the psychology is the same) to be caught. The way I did it was using food and a lot of patience. Try to go to see the pony each day and spend plenty of time in his/her paddock so that he/she percieves that you're not a threat. Bring carrots, apples, or a small amount of feed (a sudden increase in concentrated feed can cause colic or other health problems). Be patient. Speak to the pony in a low voice, don't look him/her straight in the eye and hold out your hand, offering the food. Hopefully the pony will eventually come to you; this could take hours, days, weeks or months, depending on you and the pony. Another way to tame the horse is by using Join-Up, an excellent method that helps a lot but can be difficult if you don't have a trainer to show you how to do it. Look for a Monty Roberts book on Join-Up and study it.

Sources: 6 years of keeping horses and having had one horse that was impossible to catch and is now very easy to catch. Note: I'm not a professional so try my suggestions, do a lot of research and if nothing works call in a professional trainer, who should be able to help. I can accept no responsibility for any damage caused following this suggestion.

Yes - and run away or toward direction train is coming from, if necessary. A train will crush the car, and may push it into other objects or plow it down the tracks, with the train taking anywhere from 500 feet to more than a mile to stop even after the collision. If you are in the car you will be severly injured or killed.
