Railroad tracks are for trains…period. The average train traveling at 55mph can take up to one mile to stop. That’s 18 football fields! If you or your vehicle are blocking the tracks, chances are the train will hit whatever is blocking the tracks long before it can stop. Never attempt to cross a railroad track unless you can totally clear it on the other side. Trains ALWAYS have the right of way! #onewithourcommunity
