3. So if I'm driving my car towards a railway crossing, and a train is coming,
but I'm really really really in a hurry, the train has to stop for me, right?

You should stop at ALL railroad crossings! All the time! Even if there's traffic behind you!

12. What are the light colors by the track for train approaching an intersection
and how long before the train approaches does that light come on, and what colors are used to indicate the direction of that approaching train?

13. If the train you are on Derails
And then an oncoming train derails at the same time, and they are both headed toward exactly the same point, moving at 45 mph, from a distance of 20 feet apart, what do you do in that circumstance?
