Saskatchewan is recognizing Rail Safety Week.

At an announcement in Yorkton Tuesday, C-N Police Constable Henry Neumiller says the goal of the week is to prevent fatalities and injuries. He adds that anyone who trespasses on a rail-line is subject to provincial or federal fines. So far this year, there have been 187 incidents involving a train across Canada, including 14 in Saskatchewan, three of them involving a fatality. During this week, Neumiller says the C-N Police are spreading the message of the importance of rail safety at schools, during information sessions and in driver’s courses. Plus, he says incidents involving a train affect everyone involved.
