Keep Safety Top of Mind:
Stay back at least 25 feet from all railroad tracks. This includes drones. Railroad tracks, trestles, yards and right of way are private property - do not trespass. Never assume tracks are abandoned or inactive - ALWAYS expect a train. Be a safe and considerate driver - do not pace the train. Be Aware of the Environment: Big Boy is positioned in a working rail environment with uneven walking surfaces that may create difficulty for accessibility.
