USA railroad crossing safety PSA: Department of Transportation #DOT #USDOT Federal Railroad Administration #FRA blue Emergency Notification System #ENS signs show individual crossing number, railroad's dispatch # to report vehicle on track. official mobile app Rail Crossing Locator has phone # for one-tap calling but says call #911 in #emergency #E911. AFAIK, 911 call might be possible in "No Service" area, even phones w/o plan or SIM can call 911
