About every three hours [in the United States] a person or a vehicle is hit by a train, according to Operation Lifesaver.
Virginia Railway Express (VRE) is partnering with Operation Lifesaver and CSX in a safety campaign this summer at stations, on trains and in communities. “Our goal is that no one ever experiences the unnecessary and tragic injury or death of a family member or friend on the tracks,” said Greg Deibler, VRE System Safety and Security Manager.
