CN Rail is reminding drivers not to try and beat the train after a video of a vehicle zipping through a train crossing in Chilliwack while the flashing arms were down was shared on social media.

The dashcam footage was posted by Mike Ervin on the Living in Chilliwack Facebook group on Thursday, Nov. 4.

The video shows the flashing train arms lowering on a dark and rainy morning around 5:20 a.m. on Nov. 4 at Eagle Landing Parkway in Chilliwack.

As Ervin slows down, a vehicle passes him on the left and races through the gap in the train gates, not slowing down.

The fine for crossing the tracks when the train gates are down would result in a $109 fine under the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act and a fine under the federal Railway Safety Act of more than $500. As far as trespassing on the tracks, Transport Canada recently increased the fine from $115 to $500.

In 2017, more than 222 accidents occurred in Canada on CN Rail tracks, resulting in 72 fatalities and 44 serious injuries.

If anyone knows who the driver of the vehicle is in this video, they are asked to call CN Rail at 1-800-465-9239.
