One big difference is that someone pulling a train estop for no good reason has to deal with other train passengers who would be unhappy that their trip is suddenly delayed for no good reason.

It's a different dynamic if you're alone or with friends/family in a car, even if pushing that estop is on a highway where it's even more dangerous.
