Station Blitzes
Are you asking yourself, "What's a station blitz?"
A station blitz typically involves railroad representatives and law enforcement personnel actively enforcing state regulations at a train station in a community.
Yes, there are state regulations governing behavior around railroad tracks. There are several penalties that can be assessed. If you aren't at an authorized public area like a train station you could get cited for trespassing. If you are at a station and neglect to follow warning devices you could get fined $250-$500. And, the worst penalty of all - it could wind up costing you your life.
People respond to regulations differently, we hope that the risk of life is enough, but it isn't always. That's why we come out to enforce the regulations - to reach those that respond to monetary costs instead. Ultimately, we want everybody safe.
