Union Pacific Urges Caution Around Railroad Tracks

Union-Pacific(AP) — Union Pacific is reminding everyone to be careful around railroad tracks over the Labor Day holiday.

The Omaha-based railroad says it is especially important to be careful at railroad crossings during such a busy travel weekend.

UP’s director of public safety Dale Bray says motorists should always look for trains when they come to crossings.

The Federal Railroad Administration says 271 people died and 930 were injured last year in grade crossing accidents nationwide.
