If your car stalls on stops on the tracks…
- Get out of the car immediately! Do not return to it! Move away from the tracks. Avoid being near the impact.
- Call the 1-800 number posted at the crossing or 9-1-1 as fast as possible.
- Give the exact location using landmarks and the DOT number posted at the crossing (usually on the crossing sign).
- If you don't have a phone, flag someone down immediately.
- Never wave at a train to get it to stop. A freight train traveling 55 mph takes a mile or more to stop.
