See tracks? ??? Always expect a train! ?? ?? Trains can move in either direction at any time. ?? The train may not sound its horn as it approaches you. ?? It can take a train more than a mile to come to a complete stop. ?? Cross train tracks only at designated pedestrian or roadway crossings. On #RailSafetyMonth and everyday, stay alert around railroad tracks. #AmtrakVA #SeeTracksThinkTrain

?? Do you know what to do if you were stuck on the tracks? ?? Step one: Get yourself off the tracks. ?? Step two: Find the blue Emergency Notification Sign (ENS) and call the number on the sign to tell them about the stalled vehicle. If you can't find the emergency number, call 911. Every second counts. #RailSafetyMonth #AmtrakVA #SeeTracksThinkTrain

?? Did you know train tracks are private property? ??Trespassers face fines up to $3,000, and there’s over 1,000 track casualties per year due to trespassing. ??Walking, biking, jogging, and standing on or next to tracks is considered trespassing. ??Use designated pedestrian crossing and obey all signs posted. ??

September = safety first! ?? This #RailSafetyMonth, remember to always stand behind the yellow line on the platform. Trains overhang the tracks by 3+ feet on both sides, so keep your distance from the tracks. This small step keeps you safe while you wait for the train to arrive. #AmtrakVirginia #SeeTracksThinkTrain
