To make its commuter rail stations safer, Chicago-area Metra plans to install signs that let passengers know when more than one train is passing.
The so-called second-train signals are intended to warn people who wait for one train to pass before crossing the tracks but fail to notice another approaching train, Metra officials said Friday…Metra says it will be the first time in the U.S. that the warning signs will be installed at stations along an entire line. Second-train warning signs are used in other states but only at some crossings on a line, officials said.
The sign will show a red flashing “Danger” and the message “Another Train Coming.” An audible warning will also be included. Link to full story in Chicago Tribune.
