With more train services than ever before, it’s never been more important to be safe around our rail networks.

Six KiwiRail locomotive engineers (train drivers) have bravely shared their emotional experiences of incidents and near misses around the rail network, as part of Australasia’s Rail Safety Week.

KiwiRail are reminding you to be aware at all times around rail tracks, and always expect trains at any time, from either direction. Please help them spread this important message.
