What to do if you get stuck on train tracks?

Stuck on the tracks? Heart pounding, right? Get out!

Seriously, ditch the car. Fast.

Run away from the tracks, towards the train. Like, 20 feet minimum. Saw this tip on a safety poster at the DMV in Sacramento last July. Cost me five bucks for a replacement license, but worth it.

Then, call 911. Or whoever your local emergency number is. Did this once back in ’19 when a truck stalled near the tracks outside Reno. Scary stuff. Better safe than sorry, right?
