• Never drive around lowered gates — it's illegal and deadly. If you suspect a signal is malfunctioning, call the 1-800 number posted on or near the crossing signal or your local law enforcement agency.
• At a multiple track crossing waiting for a train to pass, watch out for a second train on the other tracks, approaching in either direction.
• ALWAYS EXPECT A TRAIN! Freight trains do not follow set schedules.
• Be aware that trains cannot stop quickly. Even if the locomotive engineer sees you, a freight train moving at 55 miles per hour can take a mile or more to stop once the emergency brakes are applied. That's 18 football fields!
• Stand back from the edge of the platform behind the yellow line.
• Use the seatback handles and hand rails when walking through the train.
• Please don't block doors from closing or attempt to hold the doors open.
