Generally, if you can see that the train is coming, the only way to stop it is to divert it, probably off the tracks, killing the people inside the train to save those outside.
Instead, what you must do, is to tell those in the path of the train to evacuate, and help them get out of the way. You should also ask the train to stop, because even if it can't, the deceleration would give at least a few extra seconds for those in front to escape.
If you know that a train is coming, but it is still far off, then it has space to stop itself if given a warning in advance. If it can't stop, then at least the others probably have plenty of time to leave.
Anything other than the train using it's own brakes would damage the train and probably harm/kill it's occupants, or would be ineffective, or would take too long to create.
