(Union Pacific issued the following on November 9, 2009.) EL PASO, Texas — A special Union Pacific Railroad passenger train is rolling toward El Paso for a series of safety rides and presentations that begins Friday, November 13. Local officials and school children will ride Union Pacific's safety train to observe motorist behavior on television monitors that transmit live footage from a video camera that is mounted on the front of the locomotive. The view will give passengers the rare opportunity to observe what train crews see as they travel down the track-drivers ignoring railroad warning signals and racing across the tracks. During the train rides, Union Pacific and Operation Lifesaver representatives will discuss the tragic consequences caused by risky driving and trespassing on railroad tracks.
