Rail Safety:

Staying Safe Around the Tracks: What You Need to Know

Every day, nearly 13,000 American workers suffer an injury on the job. Rail safety is an essential part of our commitment to reducing these risks. Below are some critical safety guidelines to keep in mind around rail operations and tracks:

• Always Expect a Train: Freight trains don’t run on fixed schedules, and passenger train times can change frequently. Assume a train is approaching at every crossing.
• Tracks Are Private Property: Walking on train tracks is illegal and dangerous. Trains can’t stop quickly, and it takes a freight train traveling at 55 mph more than a mile—the length of 18 football fields—to come to a complete stop.
• Understand the Power of Trains: The average locomotive weighs about 200 tons—making it as powerful as 30 cars combined. The impact of a collision with a train is comparable to crushing a soda can.
• Trains Have the Right of Way: Trains always have priority over vehicles, pedestrians, and emergency services at crossings.
• Trains Can Move in Any Direction: Trains may be pushed or pulled from either direction and can extend up to three feet beyond the steel rail.
• Quiet and Fast: Modern trains are quieter than ever, and they move faster than you might think. Never assume you’ll hear a train approaching.
• Cross Only at Designated Areas: Cross train tracks only at marked pedestrian or roadway crossings. Obey all posted warning signs and signals.
• Stay Focused Near Tracks: Avoid distractions such as texting or using headphones. Be alert and aware at all times.
• If Your Vehicle Stalls on the Tracks: Get everyone out of the vehicle immediately. Move away from the tracks and call for help.
