As we think about the railroad system across Nebraska, nearly all of us live, work or travel near a rail line. Understanding what may happen in a rail emergency and knowing how to report an incident or rail accident is important - this includes being situationally aware of possible criminal activity - see something, say something!
Union Pacific Railroad is offering training opportunities and resources to help all of us better understand rail safety. Please feel free to share any of these resources with your communities and local first responders.
