College Students

All students – especially those who attend a college or university whose campus includes or is near railroad tracks – must recognize the risks to themselves and others around railroad tracks and trains.

See Tracks? Think Train! Know what to do when you see railroad signs and signals.

Know the facts, recognize the signs and make safe choices.

Know your rail signs and signals

Get Out! Get Away! Find The Blue and White Sign. If your vehicle gets stuck or stalls at a crossing, get everyone out and far away immediately, even if you do not see a train.

Call the number on the Blue and White Emergency Notification System (ENS) sign and share the crossing ID number with the dispatcher. No sign? Dial 911.
