Your commitment to rail safety can save lives. This #RailSafetyWeek, take the pledge and encourage others to do the same. Let’s make sure that everyone stays safe around tracks and trains: cn.ca/railsafety #RSW2025 #HRBC
As Rail Safety Week 2025 ends, we ask everyone to act safely around trains and level crossings. Don’t trespass on rail lines. Stay alert and put phones away at crossings. Never drive around or try to beat boom gates.
Your safety protects others too.

Today is the last day of #RSW2025, but that’s no reason to not be safe around trams and trains for the whole year. Unfortunately we know rail safety will be ignored, which means we’ll have to do this all again next year. Thanks for ruining the fun everyone. #YarraTrams
If you’re out on the town getting tipsy tonight, don’t decide to have a rest on the tram or train tracks. You won’t wake up with a sore head, because you won’t have a head anymore. ~Depot Cat #RSW2025
Leonard, a train driver in Sydney, has good reasons why you should never trespass on rail lines.

#RSW2025 continues during the weekend too. Even though less trams run, you still need to be alert, or you could end up squashed between them like this, and it’s very embarrassing for you, because humans don’t look cute like me when squashed. ~Depot Cat
Friday Funday!

In 2008 AFL player Graham Polak was poleaxed by a tram, when he tried to run across the road, and nearly lost his life. Footballers are known for their speed, agility, and toughness, but even he failed. Be safe around trams and live. #RSW2025 #YarraTrams
Joshua, a driver with ARG, explains why you shouldn't be a fuckwit around trains or level crossings.

#MetroTrains #ThrowbackThursday #RSW2025
Throwback Thursday: This 2016 incident shows what happens when a car tries to make a u-turn in front of a tram. Be aware of trams, and give way at all times, no matter how much you think you own the road because you’re in a hurry to get somewhere. #RSW2025 #YarraTrams

This report from 7News Sydney shows just how stupid some people are around trams. Don’t be like Sydneysiders, be alert, watch out for trams, and give way. If you can’t do that, then move to Sydney and be a drongo like them. #RSW2025 #YarraTrams
Daryl, a driver with Queensland Rail, explains why you shouldn't be a fuckwit around level crossings.

Many people are confused by Hook Turns, but they really are as simple as this video from Transport Victoria shows.
If you don’t have one minute to spare to learn how to be safe around trams, you really shouldn’t be driving. #RSW2025 #YarraTrams
Whilst you should NEVER find yourself in this position, if you do, just keep driving forward. The barriers are designed to break away. Better them than you.
Don't be a fuckwit around level crossings.

It’s #RSW2025, and we’d like to remind everyone to pay attention around trams and trains. The last thing you’d want is a video online of you being stupid, with the audio “Darling hold my hand: Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday, and right now you can save £50 per person.” #YarraTrams
Rail Safety Week 2025 runs from August 11th - 17th.
This week we're taking a break from our usual nonsense to promote the important - and sometimes difficult - things you all need to see and hear to keep you, the rail network, workers and everyone else safe and alive.
