CN launches the annual Rail Safety Week with new virtual reality videos to educate the public about the importance of safety measures near rail yards and at rail crossings. You can watch on-line HERE.
CN is the first railway in North America to use this immersive 360° video and virtual reality experience.
"Trespassing fatalities along railway tracks are entirely preventable, and tragedies at railway crossings can be avoided by simply obeying crossing signals," said Stephen Covey, chief of police and chief security officer at CN. "Through this initiative, CN is providing new ways of teaching kids, teens and adults to be safe near trains and railroad property and asking them to spread the word and help save lives."
