Over the past 10 years, nearly 1,200 Canadians have been killed or seriously injured as a result of collisions at railway crossings and trespassing on railway property. These tragic incidents not only impact victims, but their families, railway workers, emergency responders and communities. And virtually all of these incidents could be avoided.Operation Lifesaver ― which is co-funded by Transport Canada and the Railway Association of Canada ― works to prevent these needless incidents from happening by educating Canadians about the hazards associated with railway tracks and trains.
