See tracks? Think train. This is National Rail Safety Week
2026-09-24
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – This year’s announcement of Rail Safety Week tied in with Sprinfield’s rail consolidation project. “Separating pedestrian and motorists from train tracks reduces the likelihood of crashes,” said Illinois Commerce Commission chairman Doug Scott at Thursday’s event at the Sangamon County Complex. “Once completed, the Tenth Street corridor will replace more than 25 at-grade crossings, which will be eliminated. The safety benefits of these improvements will be all the more important with train volumes expected to increase from 35 to 81 trains per day by 2030.”
