CN launched its annual Rail Safety Week campaign to raise awareness about the risks of unsafe behaviour around railway tracks and property.
From September 21-27, CN Police Services and CN employees will be engaging with communities across North America to mark Rail Safety Week and reinforce a simple but critical message: safety around railway tracks and crossings is a shared responsibility.
Together they will work to raise awareness about the dangers of trespassing on railway property and ignoring signals at crossings. These unsafe behaviors can have devastating consequences, but they are also preventable when we all do our part.
Rail safety extends beyond the railway. Drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and community partners all have a role to play. Staying off railway tracks and property, obeying crossing signals and never attempting to beat a train are simple choices that can save lives.
For more than two decades, CN has worked with communities to champion rail safety. In 2025, more than 403 municipalities across North America formally recognized Rail Safety Week through resolutions and proclamations.
