Is it rude to call on a train?

It's not rude. But no one wants to hear your conversation so if it's going to be loud then defer it. I think a quick and quiet 'Hi, sorry I'm on the train at the moment, I'll give you a call back' is perfectly acceptable. All phone calls are acceptable, just don't tell the whole carriage.

Guests are asked to limit conversation and speak in subdued tones. Phone calls are not allowed and all portable electronic devices must be muted or used with headphones (passengers using headphones must keep the volume low enough so that the audio cannot be heard by other passengers).

Your mobile phone must be able to display the ticket on your phone screen. If your phone battery has died, you will be unable to retrieve your mobile ticket. Therefore, you will have to purchase a new ticket for the journey you wish to make.

Fact #4: Trains Can Stop, But Not Quickly So if you think a train can see you and stop in time, think again. Trains cannot stop quickly enough to avoid a collision, which is why vehicles should never drive around lowered gates or try to “beat” a train.

A lot of it depends on how close and how well-used the tracks are. If they're exempt (in the US) or unused then it's no different than living by a field since no trains use them. If they're rural and near a road, you'll get horn blasts as the train goes by as well as the noise from the train.
