About ENS Sign Awareness Day

These signs provide a phone number and location information needed to quickly report emergencies or safety concerns around tracks and trains directly to the railroad.

This page offers a toolkit of resources you can use to help spread the word. Knowing how to find and use an ENS Sign can save lives.
