Worried about plane crashes?
Did you know that more people die in highway-rail grade crossing crashes in the U.S. each year than in commercial and general aviation crashes combined?
Feel safe in your surroundings?
The majority of highway-rail crashes occur within 25 miles of your own home.
Think railroads are public areas?
Railroad tracks, yards, and trains and other equipment are private property. Walking or playing on them is illegal and is subject to arrest and fines. Currently in Illinois that fine for a first offense can be as high as $250.00!
Not concerned about trains unless they are moving fast?
The majority of highway-rail crashes occur when the train is traveling less than 30mph.
