How often are we told the first number to all in an accident is not 911? When a railroad crossing is involved 911 is the second number to call.
If hung up on a railroad crossing and no train is approaching take your cell phone to the railroad crossing and call the number located on the blue sign. Tell the railroad operator the specific number on the sign which tells them where you are located and if a train is on the way they can get the train stopped. Then do what needs to be done including calling 911 if needed. Push, pull, or lift the vehicle off of the tracks and then call the number once again to let the railroad know the intersection has been cleared.
