Is this for Driver's Ed? If so, here's my answer:
There is always a double-cross, or white x, sign before the crossing and/or a white x painted on the road to warn you of the upcoming railroad crossing.
If there are warning lights and/or arms at the crossing, you: turn off your radio and roll down the window to listen for the train. If the lights are flashing and/or the arms are down, a train is coming. If not, there is no train coming. You must stop before the white line, look both ways down the track. You are free to cross when the arms are all the way back up and there are no lights flashing AFTER you look both ways while listening for the train.
If there are no warning lights or arms at the crossing, you: stop before the white line, turn off the radio, and roll down the window to listen for a train. As you are stopped, you look both ways down the track. If you can't hear or see the train, you are free to cross. Make sure to keep at least 3 feet of distance between you and the track. However, to insure that nothing will come up and hit your car, you can always stop a good distance away from the white line, but still make sure you can see down the track.
This is very long-winded, but you can condense it.

Explanation:
Answer: Even English-speakers with a modicum of German can hear the difference between the lilting, almost musical tones of Austrian German versus the less lilting, more crisp sound of standard German (Hochdeutsch). Bavarian, on the other hand, is very similar to Austrian.
Both nations historically spoke the same language (German), so in that sense sometimes an Austrian (in many cases, a Viennese) composer might be regarded as German. The German nation we know today and who fought France and England in both world wars was originally Prussia and several other small German-speaking states located in northern European east of France. Austria was another German speaking confederation of lands that later became the Austro-Hungarian Empire and basically controlled the southern half of central/eastern Europe, extending from Prague and Cracow in the North to the Adriatic Sea in the South. The Hapsburgs controlled it for the most part. The term 'German' when used to describe music likely refers to the language, regardless of whether it was a composer working in Berlin (Germany) or Vienna (Austria).
