Trains don't brake like cars do. A train traveling at 55 miles per hour can take a mile or more to stop. #ThursdayThoughts pic.twitter.com/ulpV9beyAY

Trains today are quieter than you think. So, do yourself & others a favor and think twice before standing or walking on train tracks—you might not be able to feel or hear an oncoming train in time to get away safely. Be #RailSafe. #StayOffTheTracks #TracksAreForTrains pic.twitter.com/N8KIYBaYQ4

This looks fun, right? WRONG! It looks dangerous and illegal. Remember, railroad tracks are private property. #TracksAreForTrains, not #trespassing. #ThursdayThoughts pic.twitter.com/CZLyqxNZ2B
