Do not throw stones or other objects into the area of the railroad tracks or at the passing trains.

Do not place any objects or obstacles (even if very small) on the railroad tracks.

Please report to the Emergency Call Center (*2442) regarding any activity or gathering of a crowd in the area of or in dangerous proximity to the railroad tracks. The Emergency Call Center will inform the train drivers of the event and, if necessary, will send authorized personnel to the location (a railway employee or the police).

Please report to the Emergency Call Center (*2442) anything out of the ordinary in the area of or in dangerous proximity to the railroad tracks, for example an obstacle lying on the tracks or any suspicious activity.
