- Stay on public property. Never trespass on railroad property.
- Obey all signs, crossing gates, and law enforcement instructions.
- Train data may be delayed, incomplete, estimated, or community-reported — do not use this app for safety-critical decisions.
- Freight sightings are community reports, not official railroad tracking. Treat them as anecdotal.
