With nicer weather and more people going out, CN Rail is asking people to stay off the tracks.

A news release from the company says that trespassing on tracks is dangerous and illegal.

People who go onto the tracks can be fined $115.

When it comes to railway safety, CN says:

*Only cross railway tracks as designated public/ pedestrian crossings.

*Obey the railway crossing control devices and do not attempt to beat the train

*Before walking across any railway crossing, look both ways, listen and only proceed over the crossing when it is safe
