Careful Crossing Campaign Launches Nationwide Drive
The American railroads started their third careful crossing campaign to reduce highway crossing accidents. With 2,268 deaths and 6,314 injuries last year, 84 percent involving motor vehicles, the campaign urges drivers to slow down, look and listen, especially at multi track crossings, and exercise cautious judgment to prevent loss of life and injury. Placards and lantern slides support the effort, and schools and churches are urged to cooperate.
