ELI5: What makes walking on train tracks so dangerous? Couldn't the average person hear a train coming long before it reaches them?

Unless impaired via listening to music, drugs or alcohol you will hear, see or if you're standing on the rails you will feel it coming. And unless you're on a bridge or in a tunnel you don't need much warning. You just need to side step the train, not out run it.
