"International Level Crossing Awareness Day (ILCAD) is on June 3RD.
.
In an effort to prevent more railroad fatalities, Operation Lifesaver,
Inc., the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit
Administration and the Federal Railroad Administrations have launched a
new campaign, See Tracks, Think Train."
.
The campaign will launch with a video PSA aimed at educating pedestrians
and drivers about safe behavior around railroad crossing grades. Viewers
will also be educated on proper railroad safety when driving and walking.
.
Just last year, there were 15 train fatalities in Alabama, up 200 percent
from 2013.
.
A few quick tips for approaching railroad tracks:
.
Never walk on tracks. It is illegal.
.
By the time a locomotive engineer spots a pedestrian or vehicle on the
tracks, it's too late.
.
It takes the average freight train more than a mile---or 18 football
fields---to stop.
.
Trains have the right away 100 percent of the time.
.
You should only cross train tracks at designated pedestrian or roadway
crossings.
.
There should be no texting, headphones or other distractions when
approaching railroad tracks.

The Franklin teen who was struck and killed by a train in what was
described as a "tragic accident" has been identified by police as David
"Junior" Hernandez.
.
Investigators determined the 17-year-old was walking with his back to the
oncoming freight train, wearing stereo earbuds, when he was hit near the
Liberty Pike crossing not far from his home at about 9:44 a.m. Thursday,
police said.
.
Emergency responders found the teen in a wooded area north of Liberty
Pike. He died at the scene, a Franklin Police Department media release
said.
.
The family of the teen told police that he left home a short time before
the accident to walk to a business where his girlfriend was at work,
according to the release.
.
The family, it said, is "devastated."
