Excellent efficient work from Penn Service, Inc. They were able to remove the truck without any damage to the rails. The owner Mark made sure all operations were completed with the highest regard for surrounding property and safety. Amazon has been notified to insure package delivery. Teamwork gets the job done!

Important Safety Message

PLEASE GET CLEAR AWAY FROM THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND CALL BOTH 911 AND THE EMERGENCY NUMBER ON THE BLUE SIGN like the one pictured for ANY emergencies or vehicle stuck on or near the Railroad Tracks.

This is critical information for emergency help to be notified.

ALSO please check your surroundings when using GPS....it is not always correct information and may direct you on to Railroad Tracks or down a dirt road etc.

Everyone’s Safety is the number one priority !!
