CSX Champions See Tracks? THINK TRAIN!® Week to Stop Track Tragedies
2024年9月23日 - 11:47PM
CSX Corp. (NASDAQ: CSX) is partnering with Operation Lifesaver,
Inc. (OLI), to observe See Tracks? Think Train!® Week (formerly
Rail Safety Week) to educate and empower the public to make safe
decisions around trains and tracks and raise awareness of the need
for rail safety education.
“Safety is at the core of our ONE CSX culture, and
is foundational to efficient, reliable train operations,” said Mike
Cory, executive vice president & chief operating officer. “Our
goal is zero accidents, so for us, one crossing collision is too
many. That’s why we are committed to working together for safety
with Operation Lifesaver and ensuring our employees, loved ones,
and neighbors are well informed on how to stay safe around the
railroad.”
Federal statistics show that in the United States,
every three hours a person or vehicle is hit by a
train. In 2023, more than 2,100 people across the country were
injured or killed in railroad crossing collisions or trespass
incidents, many of which could have been prevented.
“Public safety is everyone’s responsibility. When
it comes to railroads, individual decisions can have an irrevocable
impact on personal safety, and the safety of others,” said Sean
Douris, chief of police, public safety and infrastructure
protection. “Rail safety education is the key to incident
prevention and CSX is working to reach as many people as possible
to recognize the risks, know the warning signs, and how to make
safe choices around trains and tracks.”
From Sept. 23-29, CSX Incident Reduction Team will
actively engage in education and enforcement activities across our
network to reduce the number of rail related incidents in
communities where trains operate.
