Jack and Ella live near a busy railway line so they know how to stay safe around railway lines!
They call themselves ‘The Track Pack’ and they like to help others learn about how to be safe around railway tracks.
In this episode, the Track Pack need to protect their friend from going into a freight yard and getting hurt!
What’s a freight yard?
It’s a place where things get loaded onto the wagons of trains.
For example, a train might be transporting coal across the country. A freight yard is the place where the coal would get loaded onto the wagon.
Are freight yards dangerous?
Yep!
They have trains and wagons going in and out of them all the time so you can get really hurt if you sneak in and no one knows you’re there.
And just like on the regular train tracks, there is lots of electricity that could give you a nasty shock!
Can I join The Track Pack?
Yes! All you have to do is be safe around railways and tell others to do the same!
