Safety Resources for Professional Drivers

Union Pacific recently suffered a tragic crossing accident in Medford, Ok. in which a recently-loaded propane truck failed to stop at the railroad grade crossing. The truck drove in front of the UP train where it was hit, resulting in an explosion, fire and fatalities to our crew and the truck driver. We are now reaching out to our customers to stress the continued importance of crossing safety and hazardous materials transportation. Please share this critical safety information with your company's professional drivers or any contracted drivers transporting your materials. Feel free to contact us if you would like any further information or to have a speaker visit your group.
