[photo of locomotive stenciled with "safety first"] SAFETY COMES FIRST . . . on the Piedmont and Northern, and the slogan stenciled on the front of our locomotives is a constant reminder of the ever-present possibility of accidents.

This would be a terrifying view from an automobile on a crossing. Yet hundreds of motorists take a chance like this every day, inviting death, injury, and property damage.

Crossing a railroad is like looking down a gun barrel. You don't know when it might be loaded. Don't become a statistic. Play it safe by stopping, looking, and listening.
