The Manitoba Government is reminding people to be cautious around railways, as it’s Rail Safety Awareness Week.

Every year, over 100 people in Canada are seriously injured or killed because of railway crossings or railway trespassing incidents.

Rail safety includes being prepared to stop a vehicle at every railway crossing, never stopping a vehicle on the tracks, and never trespassing on railways, which are private property.

Manitoba is the first province to put Rail Safety Awareness Week into law.
