KCS news release:

 
KCSR and Law Enforcement Promote Public Safety in Oak Grove with Officer on a Train Event

 

 

Kansas City, Mo., February 20, 2017.  The Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCSR) and the Oak Grove Police Department will host an Officer on a Train event on Wednesday, February 21 to promote public safety at railroad crossings in Oak Grove, Mo.  The event will begin at 10:45 a.m. with a safety briefing at the F Highway (Broadway Street) crossing.  Missouri Operation Lifesaver executive director Tim Hull will be present and available for interviews.

 

In an Officer on a Train event, KCSR works with local law enforcement to bring officers into a locomotive cab for a unique, real-time perspective of motorist and pedestrian activity as a train moves through the community.   Meanwhile, other law enforcement officers are stationed along the railroad right of way, watching for crossing and trespasser violations and issuing citations.

 

KCSR is a staunch supporter of Operation Lifesaver, Inc., a non-profit organization founded in 1972 and dedicated to rail safety public education.  Operation Lifesaver has partnered with federal safety agencies and the nation’s railroads for the See Tracks? Think Train campaign, which is aimed at raising awareness about risky pedestrian and driver behavior around railroad tracks.
