That doesn't happen. Conductors are taught not to Jeopardize the lives of people on the train for an animal/human on the tracks. They'll decelerate slowly. Common sense dictates that slamming on the brakes isn't going to save the animal/human anyway, so why Jeopardize the lives of people on the train?
