In safe hands

摘要

Rail safety has come a long way over the past few decades. In 1981, there were nearly 9,500 car-train collisions at grade crossings in the United States. Fast forward to 2016 and that figure drops to 2,025, according to Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) data. The number of fatalities at crossings also has fallen considerably - from 728 in 1981 to 265 last year.
