Rail Safety Week September 18-24, 2023

Every year, more than 2,100 North Americans are killed or seriously injured because of unsafe behaviour around tracks and trains. Every time someone crosses a railroad track irresponsibly there is a potential for danger.

Tips to "BE RAIL SMART"

• Stop a safe distance from tracks and crossings
• Look both ways to ensure trains are not approaching
• Listen for approaching trains
