As a supporter of Khartum Ladies' Auxiliary, CN wishes to bring awareness to the public about Rail Safety Week. Although Rail Safety Week is officially April 28th to May 4th this year, Rail Safety should be a priority every week of the year. CN encourages you to remember and share these important railroad safety rules:

- Take the time to stop-look-listen and use caution at all railroad crossings.
- Be prepared to stop and obey the signals at railway crossings.
- Look for the crossbuck sign, lights or gates at crossings
- Listen for warning bells and whistles.
- Wait for the crossing gate to be fully raised before crossing the railway tracks and then look both ways before proceeding.
- Only cross tracks at designated areas. Never take short cuts across tracks or through railway property—don’t let a shortcut cut your life short.
- Walking, playing or running on or beside railroad tracks is dangerous (and illegal); any time is train time.
- Remember, tracks and recreation do not mix. No pedestrian, bicycle or car is a match for a train.
