Rail Safety Week


It's Rail Safety Week and motorists can expect to see an increased presence of railway police in Northwestnern Ontario.

Chief Stephen Covey says his officers are cracking down on violators - people who don't obey crossing signals or who trespass on rail property, which includes walking along the tracks.

Railway police and volunteers are conducting safety blitzes this week at railway crossings right across Canada.
