Actually, the answer to #1 is yes (I'm sure DG meant this). Yes you have nothing here. If the fielder is waiting for the throw, it is umpire judgment whether or not he was in the immediate act of fielding the ball. If anything, obstruction may be called if the umpire felt that the fielder was not entitled to be there blocking the runner's path.
In #2, the catcher can stand on the tracks when the train is coming in, but again, he is liable to be obstructing unless the throw is imminent. If he gets run over without the ball, the only thing he's gonna get is a headache, as he is not protected by any interference rule.
