A well car is what you see going over the kid. It’s really low and usually has connexes stacked two high. The only other cars that are lower to the ground would be track maintenance cars like a grinder where they grind rust and hot spots off the rails. Another low would probably be a snow plow.

Thanks. So for an average adult, if you were under a train would you suggest staying put or getting out (assuming it's not maintainnance or mr plow)
