September 21st to 27th is Rail Safety Week, highlighting the importance of safety around railroad tracks and related infrastructure.
According to CN's website, there's potential for danger every time someone crosses a railroad track irresponsibly. They say Stop, Look, Listen is one of the best ways to make sure you're crossing safely - stop a safe distance from tracks and crossings, look both ways to ensure trains are not approaching, and listen for approaching trains.
Some ways you can help improve rail safety is to be a role model around trains and tracks, share safety tips with your community, and to contact CN if you see anything unsafe around the railroad.
Several rail safety resources are available on the CN website, including a guide to railroad signs and devices, and many safety videos.
