SELECTED RAILROAD POLICE EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBERS
"If there is personal injury or property damage associated
with the incident you are reporting, dial 9-1-1 or the local emergency
number FIRST, then dial the railroad police department.
Always know where you are! The police always ask what is wrong,
what state you are in, and where you are (county, city, and milepost
preferably). Report in "descending order", with railroad
information first, i.e. "There is a trespasser on the Kansas
Division, Red Rock Sub, Miiepost 401.8 in the City of Norman,
Oklahoma near the Main Street grade crossing." Also note
that all grade crossings have or will soon have a "D.O.T"
number. This is a unique number that instantly identifies the
grade crossing in question. Remember to report this number as
well."
