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 (ST3Week for short) throughout the U.S. to better represent what the week-long observance is all about:
- 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 ?

Operation Clear Track
Law enforcement and first responder partners play a crucial role in promoting rail safety education during See Tracks? Think Train® Week through Operation Clear Track. Spearheaded in the U.S. by Operation Lifesaver, Inc. (OLI) and Amtrak, this collaborative initiative raises awareness and educates communities about the importance of making safe choices around tracks and trains.
On Tuesday, September 24, hundreds of first responders across North America will actively engage with communities, both in person and virtually, sharing the #RailSafetyEducation message.
Law enforcement organizations, firefighters, Emergency Medical Services and Offices of Emergency Management departments are strongly encouraged to participate in Operation Clear Track. Your active participation can make a difference and enhance rail safety awareness in your communities.
