All US states require that you stop prior to entering the crossing, and a train is approaching the crossing. If there are also crossing gates, you must not go through the crossing when the gates are either being lowered or raised. If there are no gates, you are allowed to proceed through the crossing after stopping only after you have looked and determined no train is approaching and it is safe to cross. If there are gates, you are not allowed to go around the gates legally unless a railroad employee or a police officer instructs you that it is safe to do so.
This depends on the exact charges brought, and the prior record of the person charged.
Not unless you want to be Killed or Injured for life. A lot of people have tried to beat the train to the crossing and it was the last thing they Ever did. Train Versus Human = Train 1 - Human Nothing but blood and guts. * Added - In all US states, the flashing lights activated means stop prior to entering the crossing. If there are no crossing gates, most US states allow you to proceed after stopping and checking to be sure no train is approaching. If there are crossing gates as well, it is not legal to drive aroound the gates or through the crossing while the gates are going up or down in any state in the US.
You cannot decline the penalty, since it is happening prior to the snap, you can, however, decline the YARDAGE of the penalty.
Prior to the invention of railroads, most city people lived near where they worked.
There is no limit. However, where the system is designed to activate the railroad crossing is determined by design engineers and within the limits of the regulations covering this. In the US, an active railroad crossing (gates and/or crossing lights, and rarely, just a bell) is required to be activated 20 seconds prior to the train's arrival. Crossing gates are required to be horizontal prior to the trains arrival as well. In addition, very wide crossings may require "clearance time" before the train arrives, and trains that have full closure (often being "four quad crossings") may require additional time as well. If the grade crossing is interfaced with highway traffic signals, even more time is needed. After all the time needed is added, which can range from slightly over 20 seconds to as much as 2 minutes for when the train needs to begin the process, the highest train speed is then determined. The distance this must begin is simply the speed of the train multipled by the time required. A 10mph train and 25 seconds activation = 10mph converted to feet per second, which is 15, times 25 = 375 feet. A 110 mph train (the fastest in the US) and 1 minute activation = 161x60 = 9,660 feet.

That could mean a couple of things. On a pass play, offensive lineman (center, guard, tackle) are not allowed to cross the line of scrimmage prior to a pass crossing the line of scrimmage. This infraction is called ineligible man down field. On a punt, the only players on the punting team allowed to cross the line of scrimmage prior to the punt are the two players positioned on the end of the line. Should any other player except for those two players cross the line of scrimmage prior to the punt, the infraction is called ineligible man down field.
You must stop and visually determine the taxiway is clear.
