Railway safety awareness boosted

Chinese railway operators are intensifying efforts to raise safety awareness among the public in a bid to better safeguard freight transport. Staffers from the Jiexiu Business Office of Taiyuan Railway Logistics Center in Shanxi province partnered with railway police, visiting local unmanned aerial vehicle training bases and related enterprises in their jurisdiction to enhance publicity on UAV safety along railway lines. The related units were urged to standardize the operation of drones and prohibit illegal liftoffs, so as to prevent them from interfering with railway traffic, thus helping ensure safe and smooth railway freight transport.
