Weathered railroad safety sign warning "Do not ride top of car beyond this point" at Omaha rail yard.

A weathered sign reading "Do Not Ride Top of Car Beyond This Point" stands bolted to a rusted steel frame beside the tracks in an Omaha rail yard. Warnings like this once marked points where brakemen and switchmen were told to climb down before cars passed under low bridges or wires.
