Take care of yourself
Stay away from railroad power lines!
The railroad is the safest means of transportation in Austria. Nevertheless, many people have accidents on railway lines every year due to ignorance and carelessness. Here you can find out which rules must be observed on railroad systems to prevent dangerous situations from arising in the first place!
Many things work with electricity, including the railroads. However, the electricity used on the railroads is much stronger than that used at home. A socket outlet has a voltage of 230 volts. As you know, reaching into a socket can be fatal. A much higher voltage is used to operate the train - a high voltage of 15,000 volts!
Keep your distance from the traction current line
So always remember how insidious electricity is: you can't see it, you can't hear it and you can't smell it. If you get too close to 15,000 volts, your life is in danger!
Safety tips:
- Stay away from traction current lines!
- Wagons are not an adventure playground!
- Never fly your kite near railroad power lines!
- No tests of courage or tricks on bridges over the tracks!
- You don't even have to touch the line, the current can be life-threatening in the form of an electric arc even over a distance of several meters!
Take care of yourself!
