How do you stop a Trane?

It takes several miles for a train to stop.
His head phones must have been blaring at top volume for him to not hear/feel the train approaching.

I'm sure he did see him. But trains take a long time to stop.

The average freight train is about 1 to 1¼ miles in length (90 to 120 rail cars). When it's moving at 55 miles an hour, it can take a mile or more to stop after the locomotive engineer fully applies the emergency brake. An 8-car passenger train moving at 80 miles an hour needs about a mile to stop.
