Always expect a train; look both ways prior to crossing the tracks Remove earphones and end all cell-phone conversations prior to crossing. More than half of train versus pedestrian incidents between 2004 and 2011 involved headphone use (Lichenstein, Smith, Ambrose, & Moody, 2012) Never try to “beat” the train when crossing and you note a train coming Only cross in those areas designated for pedestrian crossing Remain drug and alcohol free if you decide to cross the railroad as both can greatly impair your judgment Source: Lichenstein, R., Smith, D., Ambrose, J., & Moody, L. (2012). Headphone use and pedestrian injury and death in the United States: 2004-2011. Injury Prevention. doi: 10.1136/injuryprev-2011-040161
