Watch wagons and other equipment during the crossing so that no loaded materials are dislodged onto the train tracks. Some farm equipment is uniquely designed for field work and does not transport well across farm-rail crossings. When operating new farm machinery over farm rail crossings for the first time, make sure that heavier and wider equipment can be safely moved over the crossing. Some farm equipment transports toxic materials, including pesticides and fertilizers. Take extra care with nurse tanks containing anhydrous ammonia.
Hitch pins can become dislodged when moving across rough farm-rail crossings.
Some farm equipment transports extremely heavy commodities, including bulk manure and grain. Take extra care that farm tractors towing loaded bulk mature tanks will fully clear the crossing quickly and safely. Take extra care with loaded grain wagons that could tip over if the wheels are not properly lined up with the crossing. If for any reason you get stuck on the track, get out of the equipment and away from the track. Immediately call the 1-800 emergency notification number, if available.
