Operation Lifesaver 40 City Anniversary Tour Visits Atmore

July 26, 2016

“If we can save just one life, it’s worth all the effort.”

Those were the words of Nancy Hudson, Operation Lifesaver Alabama Executive Director. Operation Lifesaver  is a nonprofit public safety education and awareness organization dedicated to reducing collisions, fatalities and injuries at highway-rail crossings and trespassing on or near railroad tracks.

This year is the 40th anniversary of the program in Alabama, and Operation Lifesaver is on a 40-city tour across the state to spread their safety message. Monday, the tour stopped in Atmore where the group presented a program to senior citizens, public safety employees and the media. The Atmore City Council also heard from Hudson and Stephen Curlee, manager of community affairs and safety for CSX as they proclaimed Monday as “Rail Safety Tour Day” in Atmore.

“We want everyone to think train when they see tracks and be careful,” Hudson said.
