How do you not hear a train coming up from behind you at 15 feet away?

Sounds like a bit of an exaggeration to me, for several reasons:

1) Trains are loud, even without the horn.
2) Trains usually sound their horns often.
3) If it was truly 15 feet away, that wouldn't have been enough time for your friend to say something, you to comprehend it, and then move.

maybe like 100ish and i MIGHT believe you? By the way i assume this is at night and trains have BIG frickin lights on them. I think it just was a vivid dream from all that candy.

If the train was moving at 20 miles per hour, you would have had approximately .5 seconds to get out of the way before the train hit you.

I'm not saying it couldn't have been close, but 15 feet is basically nothing. If it was something like 60 feet, there might be some chance you'd get away (if the train was going at 20mph, that'd give you about 2 seconds).
