Railroad tracks are on private property owned by the railroad company.
It is never safe be on the railroad property.
Trains may approach quickly
and will not be able to stop in time if you are in the way. In addition,
you may be arrested for being on railroad property and we are sure your parents
wouldn't like that!
There are places where the railroad tracks cross roads or streets. Many of
these railroad crossings are marked with one of the signs or signals in the
table below.
|
This sign means you are coming to a railroad crossing. Always look both ways and listen carefully to be sure a train is not
coming from either direction before crossing the tracks.
|
|
Many railroad crossings have a gate with flashing lights
that close when a train is coming.
- NEVER go around a closed railroad gate.
- NEVER try to get across the track before the train
gets there.
|
|
Some crossings which don't have gates may have this sign.
When the lights are flashing, a train is coming. You should wait until the
train or trains have passed before trying to cross the tracks.
