Safety

LEGAL NOTICE: Operation of railway equipment, including motorcars, is governed by Federal, State and Railroad authorities. All rail property is owned by someone.  Operation of any equipment on or around railroad property is only permitted with permission of the property owner or leasor.  CVRTC will assist local, State, and Federal authorities in prosecuting illegal operators of railway equipment. 

Trespassing is both illegal and dangerous. All railroads are private property. Do not operate on any track without explicit permission from the railroad owner. CVRTC will assist all local, state and federal authorities in prosecuting any motorcar operator found trespassing.

Railroads are inherently unsafe places. Club members strive to operate in a safe fashion and encourage others to do the same. CVRTC supports all railroad and law enforcement organizations in the effort to prevent unauthorized motor car use.

CVRTC Safety Statement

CVRTC prides itself on operating as a safety conscious group. While there can not be a rule written for every type of event that may occur while we are enjoying our hobby, CVRTC has established a minimum set of requirements for our operations and equipment. The Safety Committee reviews and adjusts these requirements to fit the changing times, state and federal laws, and as incidents occur. The Safety Committee's goal is to have the group operating as safely as possible while keeping the hobby enjoyable for everyone.
