Online railway safety advice is being offered to farmers by the National Farmers'' Union (NFU).
Following a recent incident involving a train and a tractor in the Milton area, farmers can gain railway crossing advice from the NFU''s website, a Cambridge News article has noted.
The publication reports the NFU East Anglia spokesman Brian Finnerty as saying: "In general terms we do offer advice to members about the safe use and operation of what are called ''user worked rail crossings''."

NFU''s website currently offers its members a guide entitled Safe Use and Operation of User Worked Rail Crossings.
According to the Cambridge News article, the UK currently has around 7,600 railway crossings in place.
Earlier this month, the union also suggested that country of origin labelling should be applied to products sold in the European Union.
It believes that such labelling could offer benefits to consumers in the UK.
