When approaching a railroad crossing, you should:

• Always expect trains on any track, regardless of the time
  Explanation:

  "If you cannot move your vehicle from the tracks, call the toll-free Emergency Notification System (ENS) number located in the middle of the crossbuck or on the metal box near the grade crossing. Give the railroad dispatcher the DOT grade crossing locator number that is also on the sign. Be sure to specify that a vehicle is on the tracks and follow the dispatcher's instructions."
• Only watch for trains during daylight hours
• Assume trains will not be present during nighttime
• Expect trains only on specific tracks during peak hours
