I didn't feel the precautions were particularly obvious. Sure, maybe individually. But in total, I think they serve as a very potent reminder: trains are dangerous, and your mindset around them should be one of precaution.
In many places like Thailand and India, trains are a much more commonplace part of everyday life. Familiarity breeds complacency, and these posters serve as a potent reminder of how dangerous trains actually are.
The same dynamic exists with cars in the US. One thing I've found helpful is that, every time I get into a car, I just take a single deep breath and remind myself I am piloting a potentially lethal machine. I find it really helps put me in the right mindset to take better appropriate care when I'm driving.
