Stay Safe: Keep Away from Train Tracks
Overview
Walking is great for your health, but extra caution is needed when near train tracks.
Key Points
As the seasons change, we often feel motivated to explore the outdoors. However, caution is crucial around railroad tracks.
Sobering Statistics
Every spring, nearly a dozen individuals aged 17 and under are tragically injured or killed on railroad tracks. This pattern is all too common.
Safety Tips
- Silent and Fast: Modern trains are much quieter than before and may not produce a "clickety-clack" sound.
- Stopping Distance: An average train requires over a mile?"or 18 football fields?"to come to a complete stop. Trains hang over the tracks by at least three feet, and loose freight straps can extend even further.
- Crossing Safely: Always cross tracks at designated public crossings marked by crossbucks, flashing lights, or gates. Crossing elsewhere is not only illegal but potentially deadly.
- Heed Warnings: Flashing red lights at crossings mean a train is approaching. Never go around or between lowered gates. If lights and gates remain active, a second train may be coming.
- Expect Trains Anytime: Trains may pass at any time, regardless of the hour or day.
Conclusion
By following these guidelines, you, your family, and friends can stay safe and enjoy this season safely.
