If a vehicle does become stuck on the rails, occupants should immediately get out of the vehicle and move a safe distance away and call our toll-free hotline 1-888-877-7267 to report this emergency. There is a Department of Transportation (DOT) six-digit number with a letter on the back of the crossbuck that should be provided to the railroad hotline. Motorists can also provide cross streets if the DOT number is not readily available. This will help UP identify the location and take appropriate measures to avoid collisions.As a final safety reminder, Bray added, "If you see a train coming, move a safe distance away so you are not injured by debris that might result from a collision."Union Pacific Corporation owns one of America's leading transportation companies.
