You'd be surprised at how hard it is to hear a train coming towards you.

On the tracks you have to have lookouts (when inspecting them) 100m away from the engineers in both directions because you have 17 seconds before a 125mph train hits you. You don't hear much until you're about 6 feet away from one.
Erm that maths doesn't quite work. It would not take a 125mph train 17 seconds to travel 100m. 17 seconds would be a very slow train.

1.7 seconds would seem like a more appropriate figure, considering it takes ~1.8s to travel a distance of 100m at a speed of 125mph.
