National Rail Safety Week (NRSW) is an Australasian Railway Association (ARA) and Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board (RISSB) initiative aimed at increasing community awareness about rail safety and improving behaviour at and around railways.
The theme for 2011 is 'Safer railways for safer communities'
The expected outcomes of the week are:
to raise awareness in metropolitan, regional and rural areas of safe behaviour around level crossings (http://www.nationalrailsafetyweek.com/site/levelcrossings.php);
to emphasise how dangerous it is to take shortcuts over or walk along train lines (known as trespassing);
to improve safety within the rail industry by raising awareness amongst track workers, train and tram drivers and rail employees;
to generate awareness of the impact that level crossing accidents have on train and tram drivers who are the hidden victims and witness these avoidable incidents first-hand; and
to encourage widespread understanding of the actions being taken by the rail industry to increase safety around railways and tram networks in Australian and New Zealand communities.
FYI We have removed images taken illegally on rail infrastructure in the past.
Trains are nearly often near silent when approaching and Trains can kill!
Be safe!
