Your vehicle is safely off the tracks, but you need to report a dangerous crossing condition. A blue Emergency Notification System sign gives a telephone number and crossing ID. What information helps the railroad identify the exact location?
Correct answer: The crossing identification number displayed on the sign.
Why
Use the posted railroad emergency telephone number and provide the crossing identification number. The number identifies the particular crossing so the railroad can respond. This contact step is distinct from immediate evacuation and calling 911 when a train or active warning creates an imminent threat.
