A safety barrier for providing safety to forklifts while loading and unloading boxcars, said safety barrier comprising:

• a stationary structure positioned on a railroad track side opposite a loading dock, said stationary structure comprising:
• a plurality of bollards, each of said plurality of bollards comprising a vertical post and a foundation;
• said safety barrier further comprising a linking structure attached to said plurality of bollards, said linking structure comprising a first portion and a second portion;
• and
• a barrier structure attached to said stationary structure via said linking structure, said barrier structure comprising:
• a barrier end rotatably mounted to said linking structure by way of a plurality of support posts;
• a pair of weighted ends attached to said linking structure by means of said plurality of support posts;
• and
• a safety locking pin positioned on said linking structure to lock said barrier structure in a deployed position or a non-deployed position;
• whereby said barrier structure articulates rotatably between said deployed position and said non-deployed position to ensure safety to forklifts during loading and unloading procedures, wherein said safety locking pin is removed from said linking structure to bring said safety barrier to a horizontal orientation in said deployed position for loading and unloading procedures.
