4.3 Trains Disclaimer
All Trains content on this Site is provided for informational and hobby purposes only. This includes model railroading content as well as content related to real-world (prototype) railroads.
Prototype railroad operations and property are inherently dangerous and involve risks of serious bodily injury or death. For your safety and legal compliance:
Railroad tracks, rights-of-way, rail yards, bridges, tunnels, and equipment are private property, not public property. You must not enter railroad property without express permission. Trespassing on railroad property is illegal and dangerous.
BradHazel.com does not condone trespassing under any circumstances and urges you to stay off railroad property at all times.
Never climb on, over, or under any locomotive, railcar, or other railroad equipment, as trains and moving equipment can occur without warning.
Trains are heavy, move very quickly, and cannot stop or swerve to avoid people or vehicles. Stay back from all tracks and equipment and obey all posted signs and warnings.
Only cross railroad tracks at designated public crossings (marked crossings with appropriate signage, gates, or signals). Do not cross at unauthorized locations.
Use of any content related to model railroading or prototype railroads is at your own risk. BradHazel.com, its owners, agents, and affiliates are not responsible for any injury, property damage, legal consequences, or other loss resulting from reliance on this content or actions taken in proximity to railroad tracks or equipment.
