2 minutes might not be that close unless you stall on thew tracks. You would probably wiser to stop of the road and let the engine idle until it cooled enough to shut it off and then wait for the engine to cool before continuing rather than risking getting hit by a train because you wanted to get going before the engine overheated more.
