Importance of Promoting Rail Safety
Every year, a number of preventable accidents take place at rail crossings, highlighting the critical need for enhanced safety measures. CN emphasizes that safety is a collective responsibility. By collaborating with local schools, community organizations, and media outlets, CN hopes to decrease incidents and ultimately save lives.

As part of its commitment to safety, CN partners with Operation Lifesaver and local authorities to bring a variety of engaging activities both online and in person during See Tracks? Think Train® Week. These initiatives focus on educating the public about safe practices at rail crossings, increasing awareness of the hazards posed by railway trespassing, and encouraging active participation from all communities.
