Get on board with the signs and signals
Advance Warning
Warns drivers that the road ahead crosses railroad tracks. A good reminder to slow down, look and listen for a train.
NO TRAIN HORN
An established quiet zone where the train will not be sounded unless there is an emergency or workers are near the tracks.
crossbuck
Yield to trains at this location. This is the only place where it is safe to cross the tracks. Never cross the tracks in any other location.
side street warning
Warns that a highway-rail intersection will appear immediately after making a right or left turn.
Look, Listen & Live
Since trains are so big, they may appear to be traveling slower and much farther away. It can take a mile or more for a train to stop in an emergency. So, get on board with rail safety and use caution around railroad tracks.
Look
Stay behind the yellow lines at train stations.
Always look both ways before crossing tracks
Cross only where you see designated crossings
listen
Trains are quiet, be super alert!
Never wear headphones near the tracks
live
Never cross tracks when you see a moving train
Never trespass on the tracks. It’s against the law!
Never try to chase or outrun a train
Never walk or bike along train tracks
