CN Police Launch See Tracks? Think Train® Week 2025

CN Police Officers Engage with Communities Across the United States to Raise Awareness and Save Lives

HOMEWOOD, Ill., Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) today launched its annual See Tracks? Think Train® Week campaign to raise awareness about the risks of unsafe behaviour around railway tracks and property.

From September 15–19, CN Police and CN employees will partner with cities, towns, and Indigenous communities across North America to highlight the dangers of trespassing and ignoring signals at crossings—actions that can have devastating consequences.

“Rail safety isn’t just about big moments; it’s about the small safe choices we make every day. Each time you respect the signs and signals around tracks and railway property, you’re helping to keep your community stronger and safer. Rail safety is a shared responsibility, and together we all play a role in protecting lives.”

- Shawn Will, Chief of Police and Chief Security Officer, CN

The statistics are striking: North America sees over 2,000 crossing accidents and 1,000 trespassing incidents annually. In the US alone, 2024 recorded 2,252 such incidents, resulting in 268 fatalities and 749 serious injuries. These numbers underscore the critical need for continued education and awareness.

Rail Safety is a Shared Responsibility
CN works hand-in-hand with communities across its network to promote safe practices around railways. In 2024, more than 376 municipalities formally recognized See Tracks? Think Train® Week through resolutions and proclamations. For over two decades, CN has championed this cause, but it is a shared responsibility.

By raising awareness and educating the public about the risks of trespassing and unsafe behaviour, we can help prevent tragedies and protect lives. CN invites all community partners to join us in spreading the message: rail safety matters, and together, we can make a difference.
