Our comms dir. Amy is not a giant. But she does think rail safety is a BIG deal, so she's honoring #RedOutforRailSafety day. And she wanted to note: In a train tunnel there's only room for a train. There's no extra clearance for a person, giant or not. So stay out! @olinational
Ryan is pondering rail safety under an apple tree, but you don't need Newton's knowledge of physics to know cars will lose vs trains. #STOPTrackTragedies by obeying signs/signals at rail crossings. And, of course, our mgr of program support is in red for #ST3Week & @olinational!
Dir.-Hazmat Prog. & @olinational Board Treas. John was asked by his dog, Canine Head of Info. & Edu. for Freight safety (AKA Chief) to join him for #RedOutforRailSafety Day. Chief wants people to make safe choices around trains but needed help w/the camera. And getting in frame.
