TOP THINGS TO DO AROUND THE RAILWAY
NEVER walk in front of or behind a stopped train, it can move suddenly at any time.
NEVER put objects on the train tracks, they can fly off and hurt someone, maybe you.
NEVER cross in front of a moving train until it has come to a complete stop.
NEVER walk or climb between parked or moving railway cars. You can get seriously hurt.
NEVER cross in front of a train or locomotive that is ringing it’s bell. This is a warning signal that the train is about to move.
ALWAYS use the designated level crossing to cross train tracks.
ALWAYS obey the signs and signals near railway crossings, flashing lights and bells mean the train is coming, so be safe and stay away.
ALWAYS – STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN before you cross a train track, just to make sure it is safe.
ALWAYS be aware that anytime is train time.
Please make every effort to contact a train crew member if you are unsure about actions around the train. If you can’t see us, we can’t see you. When in doubt, the safest course must be taken.
