I've never figured how a train can sneak up on you except on a bridge. You can get caught out on a bridge and just not have enough time to get off. But a regular track?
How accidents happen a lot is when there is more than one track - the person hears the train coming on the other track but fails to then hear the one coming up from behind them on the track that they are walking on.

I should not admit this but my first car was a 66 Chevy van with a strait 6 and 3 on the tree. I did a V-8 conversion and believe it or not I could power shift that thing I used to surprise a lot of speed demons with that thing
One of my first cars was a '67 Chevy van with a 283 and 3 on the tree. It was one of the more useful cars I had back then.
Watched these guys shoot radar for about 30 minutes and the Mustang was the only male driver pulled over. All the others were soccer moms driving SUVs. Fastest was 49 in a 35. The radar setup was in response to multiple complaints by residents in the area about speeders doing 80 mph. The sergeant overseeing the work of four motor officers on the assignment that day said they regularly work that stretch of road and have never clocked anybody approaching anything close to 80 mph. And, yes, the deputy was showing the guy in the Mustang how fast he was clocked.
Residents love to claim everyone is speeding excessively.
I was following a guy slowly who suddenly put his car in reverse to back into a driveway. As I was coming to a stop and could not reverse fast enough, I started honked the horn twice. An angry neighbor yelled at me "slow down".
Standard mantra is "slow down" even if one is stopped.

My Corvette is loud. People hear me coming and think, the car is loud, so it must be going too fast.
FWIW, I asked one of the radar guys I was taking pictures of if he got to the point where he could judge speed pretty accurately without the radar gun. He said part of their training is to estimate speed visually and they have to come within two mph in their estimates to be certified.
