See Tracks? Think Train® Week
Join us Sept. 15-21, 2025 for See Tracks? Think Train® Week - formerly Rail Safety Week - in the U.S.
About See Tracks? Think Train® Week
See Tracks? Think Train® Week (formerly Rail Safety Week) is a concentrated week of rail safety education focusing attention on the importance of making safe choices when driving or walking near railroad tracks and trains. First held in the U.S. in 2017, this collaborative effort among Operation Lifesaver Inc., State Operation Lifesaver Programs and rail safety partners across the U.S., Canada and Mexico is now called See Tracks? Think Train® Week throughout the U.S. to better reflect the purpose of this week-long observance:
- Preventing railroad crossing and trespass incidents across North America
- Concentrating public attention on the need for rail safety education
Why is there a need for See Tracks? Think Train® Week ?
