Did you know that......Rail transport is one of the safest forms of land travel. Trains can travel at very high speed and are unable to deviate from the track. . The most important safety measures used to prevent accidents are strict operating rules, e.g. railway signaling systems; Train whistles, bells or horns which warn of the presence of a train, while trackside signals maintain the distances between trains.
In some cases, trains run on dedicated railway lines. This effectively eliminates the potential for collision with automobiles, other vehicles and pedestrians, vastly reducing the likelihood of accidents and helps ensure services remain timely. High levels of safety makes the rail traffic one of the most favorable traffic modes. At the same time, rail traffic disburdens overburdened network of highways and primary roads, which contributes to a smooth and safe road transport, which ensures better prevention from damages and losses on transported goods.
