Various train operations will take place from now through late December, including excursion trains, special tourist trains and other equipment moves.

Drivers should stop when they hear whistle signals at grade crossings and never try to beat a train at a crossing or park on or near a railroad crossing. Be aware of the potential danger around moving rail equipment, even when rail cars and locomotives are moving at slow speeds.
