The Canadian Pacific Railway Police Service will be out this week reminding motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians about the important message of staying safe around railway property, in particular at railway crossings.

Statistics indicate, a motorist is 40 times more likely to die in a vehicle-train accident than a vehicle-vehicle collision.

As part of Railway Safety Week in Canada, which runs from April 24th to the 30th, CPR police will be conducting safety awareness blitzes at a number
of crossings and railway locations.

"Canadian Pacific Railway and its police service are dedicated to promoting rail safety awareness, preventing tragic consequences from happening and creating a safer situation for everybody," CPR Police Sergeant Bill Law, the railway police's national Community Services Coordinator. "During Rail Safety Week in Canada, our officers across our system have the opportunity to further educate the public."
