Do you know what to do if your vehicle stalls on the tracks?

1. Get out of your car and away from the tracks immediately (even if you do not see a train)
2. Locate the Blue and White Emergency Notification System sign
3. Call the number provided for help

No sign, call 911.

Biking this summer? Railroad crossings require extra care on two wheels.

Slow down near tracks. Cross only at designated crossings and cross tracks at a 90-degree angle when possible.

Always expect a train. Trains are quieter and faster than you think.

Moving farm equipment this season?

Always expect a train. Trains can run on any track, at any time, from either direction.

Cross legally and safely. If your vehicle or equipment won't fit completely across the tracks, don't commit. For free resources, visit oli.org/harvest-season for our harvest toolkit.

Behind every rail safety message is a volunteer who cares.

More than 2,000 volunteers across the country help OLI bring rail safety education to schools, community groups and professional drivers. In 2025, that effort reached more than 1 million people.

You do not need a background in rail to make a difference. OLI provides the training and the materials. You bring the time and the heart.

Today, Louisiana Operation Lifesaver was proud to participate in the “Ready, Set, SAFE!” Family Safety Event at the Treehouse Children’s Museum in Alexandria. This free community event brought together families, first responders, and safety organizations to help children learn important life-saving lessons about fire safety, water safety, car seat safety, safe sleep, first aid, and more—all through fun, interactive activities.

A special thank you to our Operation Lifesaver Authorized Volunteer (OLAV), Mr. Billy Fuller, for representing Louisiana Operation Lifesaver at this outstanding event. Billy spent the day engaging families, sharing rail safety information, and teaching children and parents what to do if they encounter a railroad crossing emergency. His dedication to our mission helps make Louisiana communities safer, one conversation at a time.

Volunteers like Billy are the heart of Louisiana Operation Lifesaver. They donate their time to educate others about rail safety, prevent tragedies, and save lives across our state.

Would you like to make a difference in your community? We are always looking for passionate individuals to join our team of volunteers. If you enjoy educating others, working with community groups, and promoting railroad safety, we would love to hear from you.

Together, we can move Louisiana closer to our shared goal of Destination: Zero Deaths.

Match day brings crowds, traffic and excitement. Give yourself extra time and extra attention near the tracks. Never try to beat a train to a crossing. Trains cannot stop quickly and a freight train can take more than 15 soccer fields to stop fully. Make safe choices. See Tracks? Think Train!®
