G'day Chris,
Your training scenario for recovery of somebody trapped under a train would generally not be a pleasant experience.
This all depending upon the type of equipment and situation involved.
There is not much clearance between the bottom components of locomotives and the ties (sleepers).
A probable scenario might be a high level platform where a person falls down inbetween the carriage and platform.
This can occur on curved platforms where there is a larger gap between the carriage and edge of the platform.
This occurred to a work colleague of mine many years ago.
Sadly he was crushed when the train started to move and he didn't survive very long.
But, I know of incidents involving kids who have survived this situation.
Steve.
