Railroad Safety Week Underway Across Area

This is Indiana Rail Safety Week across the state.  It is a week to highlight the need for safety by vehicles and pedestrians on railroads, and at railroad crossings.

Today’s emphasis is on Operation Clear Track. That highlights the need for those on foot to stay clear of train tracks when on foot.

Among the steps to emphasize Operation Clear Track is law enforcement on trains, along with other education-based programs to emphasize track trespassing laws.  The program itself is sponsored each year by the group “Operation Lifesaver.”
