Educational Rewards Program We request that teachers visit Operation Lifesaver, a railroad safety program sponsored by the railroads. There are coloring pages for young students and word puzzles for older students. On the day of the ride, teachers inform us as to how many students completed a one page activity. We will provide you with a free child trip pass for a regular weekend train operation for these students. We recommend that you staple the pass to their completed page and return to the students.

Safety
Please inform everyone to NOT walk on top of the rails and NOT cross the tracks until permitted to do so when boarding or disembarking the train. During the trip you may walk from car to car, but no running. Children need to be supervised during the ride.
