TRAIN CROSSING VIOLATORS GET HEFTY FINES

IF YOU'RE DRIVING AND RUN THROUGH FLASHING RED LIGHTS AT A TRAIN CROSSING, YOU'RE GOING TO PAY A PENALTY. SOME SIOUX CITY MOTORISTS FOUND THAT OUT TODAY WHEN LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ALONG WITH UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD RAN AN ENFORCEMENT CHECK.

SGT PAT HINRICHSEN OF THE WOODBURY COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT SAYS THE FINES FOR A VIOLATION ARE STIFF;



HINRICHSEN SAYS OFFICERS WON'T CUT YOU A BREAK IF YOU'RE CAUGHT DRIVING AROUND TRAIN GATES, BECAUSE YOU'RE RISKING YOUR LIFE RACING AN ONCOMING TRAIN:



FOUR MOTORISTS WERE CAUGHT VIOLATING THE CROSSING REGULATIONS IN THE FIRST HALF HOUR OF THE OPERATION.
