Some of Mass Transit's readers may not know I began my career more than 20 years ago covering the construction and maintenance of North America's railroads. Safety, specifically safety while on or around rail property, has been a consistent subject of coverage throughout my career. Every September, rail safety becomes the focus of efforts across the United States, Canada and Mexico, as various government agencies, nonprofit organizations and rail industry stakeholders mark Rail Safety Month, which culminates this year during the week of Sept. 18-24 with Rail Safety Week. The goal of Rail Safety Month and Rail Safety Week is simple, but lofty: Raise awareness of safety conduct around rail project to reduce the number of injuries and deaths. |
