Summary edit

Description

August 15 to August 21 2016 is Rail Safety Week. Rail Safety Week is an annual Australasian-wide initiative where rail operators and other organisations across New Zealand and Australia come together to raise awareness about rail safety and encourage safe behaviour around trains and tracks. This year’s theme is 'Expect Trains' which aims to address complacency and distraction.

For Rail Safety Week, Archives New Zealand is highlighting a selection of items that share the messages promoted by Rail Safety Week – such as making sure you cross tracks at appropriate times and places when permitted to do so. The images selected include promotional material from the 1980’s to get the message across to children regarding the dangers trains pose and an image from the 1950’s where NZ Rail considered changing the colour of trains to make them more visible. The full selection of images can be seen in this album www.flickr.com/photos/archivesnz/albums/72157671452043061

The image shown here is of children waiting patiently at a level crossing, as a train passes by. The image is from a collection of New Zealand Railways Corporation photographs and negatives associated with level crossings.
