🚫 Think it’s just a shortcut?
Walking on railroad tracks is illegal trespassing—and it could cost you your life.
Trains are quieter and faster than you think. Stay off the tracks. Stay alive.

@ASLRRA Short Line Railroads have been serving American communities for 200 years with the first commercial line formed in 1826, when the USA was 50 yrs old.
The economy doesn't run on big institutions alone. It runs on the small, dedicated operations that have been working for their communities since the beginning. That's a short line railroad.
If you take away the short line you lose more than a railroad. You lose jobs and businesses -- a town's economic foundation. In many ways a short line can be a lifeline that keeps companies local. It's how small railroads contribute to our American identity, for #America250 and beyond.
🚂 This is the only train emoji on your keyboard.
The problem? It represents a steam locomotive from a different era.
Today's freight rail network runs on modern locomotives that move the food, fuel, building materials, and products we rely on every day—yet there's no emoji that represents them.
As rail approaches its 200th anniversary in 2027, we think it's time our digital language caught up with reality.
