The rail industry continues to work tirelessly to ensure the safety of the rail network, but the community must play it’s part too. Take some time to watch this powerful video feat...uring QR’s train drivers and stay safe on the roads. https://www.linkedin.com/.../queensland-rail_today-we... #Austrail #nrsw #railsafety
