- California ranks No. 1 in preventable rail-related fatalities and injuries in the country.
- A train moving at 55 miles per hour can take over a mile to stop.
- Never walk, bike, or jog on a railroad track.
- Always stop at railroad crossings.
- Trains can come from either direction on the same track at any time and can be very quiet. Around train tracks or in stations, obey all warning signs and signals.
- Use of headsets or cell phones around tracks can prevent you from hearing an approaching train.
- Trains are wider than the tracks. If you get too close you can be hit or dragged under the train.
- Never drive around lowered gates — it's illegal and deadly. In addition, there are substantial fines for going around the crossing arms.
