Making safe choices around railroad crossings can save lives.
In this new rail safety video, Houston students share why it’s important to stay alert, follow crossing signals and always wait for trains to pass before crossing.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Stay alert and avoid distractions near tracks.
✅ Follow all railroad crossing signals and warnings.
✅ Never go around lowered crossing gates.
✅ Make safety your first priority, even when you're running late.
Together, we can help keep students, families and communities safe around railroad tracks. #SeeTracksThinkTrain

Union Pacific announces the arrival of two battery-electric locomotives in Southern California, part of the company’s ongoing investments in testing next-generation technologies in real-world operating environments. The locomotives are the first of four FLXdrive battery-electric units built by @WabtecCorp and ordered by Union Pacific.
The FLXdrive will undergo extensive testing in a variety of railroad operations, including switching and providing local customer service.

Another milestone for America’s Great Connection.
The Surface Transportation Board unanimously denied requests to dismiss the Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger application, clearing the way for continued review of the most comprehensive merger analysis ever submitted in support of a major rail transaction. Combined with SMART-MD’s new jobs-for-life agreement, the proposal now has support from a majority of unions representing Union Pacific and @nscorp employees. up-nstranscontinental.com/pr…
