OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Union Pacific wants anyone stuck at a railroad crossing to wait for the train to pass before attempting to cross.
The Omaha-based railroad recently launched a new campaign to remind people that their lives are worth waiting for a passing train.
Federal statistics show that 915 people were killed or injured last year while trespassing on railroad property.
So Union Pacific created a series of videos showing different scenarios of people waiting at railroad crossings. The videos are available online at www.up.com.
