I didn’t want to say it but had it been me I would have not been on the tracks with him, but I would have been on the phone with 911.

Also, there is a number you can call say if you are stranded on the train tracks. Just look at each crossing there is a tiny blue sign with an 800 number and code to give them. The dispatcher will stop all trains in that area.

Better yet..read this blog it will help you

If you don’t know the railroad’s number 911 should be able to stop the train but that is faster.

Not an easy decision. When seconds count, the police and all other responders are minutes away.

The brother and father made the best decision they could, it wasn't enough.
