See Tracks? Think Train® Week
About See Tracks? Think Train® Week
Every year, See Tracks? Think Train Week (formerly Rail Safety Week) raises awareness about the importance of rail safety when driving or walking near railroad tracks and trains. We’re proud to support this nationwide initiative to help prevent railroad crossing and trespass incidents across North America and help bring public awareness on the need for rail safety education.

“Trains can be quieter, faster, and closer than they appear. In the Dakotas, hundreds of miles of track cross our roads, fields, and communities—and every one of them deserves your attention. Whether you’re driving, walking, or biking, the rule is the same: If you see tracks, always expect a train.”
