District of Mackenzie proclaims September 21 – 27, 2026 as Rail Safety Week
Rail Safety Week September 21 - 27, 2026
Each time someone crosses a railroad track irresponsibly there is a potential for danger. Rail safety is a shared responsibility and we ask everyone to be especially careful when on or near railroad property and at crossings.
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
How can you help?
- Say something! Save the CN Police phone number and call if you witness any unsafe situation near the railroad: 1-800-465-9239
- Act as a role model around trains and tracks
- Share rail safety tips with your family, friends, colleagues and community
- If you live in a CN-served community email CN Safety to organize a safety presentation in your local school
