Big Boy Steam Engine Viewing Tips

Make sure to stand back at LEAST 25 feet from all railroad tracks. The average train overhangs the track by at least three feet on both sides, so maintaining an adequate distance is vital for safety.
Remember, trains can't stop quickly, so please avoid standing or putting vehicles on the tracks.
A train's speed can be deceiving, so air on the side of caution when approaching.
Never assume tracks are abandoned or inactive - ALWAYS expect a train.
Railroad tracks, trestles yards and right of way are private property - please do not trespass no matter how tempting the photo is.
Hearing protection is also recommended, especially for small, sensitive ears.
