INDOT wants to remind everyone of rail safety and continue to raise awareness. If your vehicle is stuck on the crossing, move away from the tracks immediately.

It's Rail Safety Week! Rail Safety Week was first held in 2017 with a mission to reduce collisions, fatalities, and injuries at rail-highway crossings and to prevent trespassing on or near railroad track.

September 19-25 is U.S. Rail Safety Week and Indiana Rail Safety Week! In the U.S., every 3 hours a person or vehicle are hit by a train. Trains cannot stop quickly! Our nation's rail system is vital to the supply chain and safety is always a priority.

A freight train can extend three feet or more beyond the rail – putting the safety zone well beyond the three foot mark. If there are rails on the railroad ties, always assume the track is in use, even if there are weeds or the tracks looks unused. #RailSafetyWeek

In 2016, CN crews put down a stencil of a triangle with “See Tracks, Think Trains” near Kahler school. Five years later, over 500 of those messages have been placed near rail crossings. nwitimes.com/news/local/watc…
