Don't let winter fun put you in a grave. Stay off the tracks!

In last week's post we offered you some lifesaving rail-safe winter driving tips. This week: a visual reminder that no matter what you're doing this winter, never go near the tracks. 

Railway tracks can seem like a great place to cross-country ski or snowmobile, but doing so would be a deadly, and illegal, mistake. Loud snowmobile engines, toques and headphones can impair your ability to hear a train's whistle. It's also possible you could find yourself stuck on the tracks, or clipped by the side of a train as it goes by. Bottom line: winter fun can turn into a tragic death in an instant if you choose to go by the tracks.
