A graphic listing some of the dangers of trespassing on tracks: "Trespassing on tracks can paralyze you, trespassing on tracks can hurt loved ones, trespassing on tracks is a very, very bad idea." The graphic is layered over a photo of a distracted teenager crossing a railroad track, with a train approaching behind him. Underneath, there is the text "There is no "Undo" button." and the URL StopTrackTragedies.ca
