Railway safety is our business. To keep our rail network as safe as possible, we all need to work together.
Please report all rail safety issues and concerns to us so that we can do our job of making trains safer for everyone.
Each day, millions of passengers criss-cross our country over thousands of kilometres of track. We rely on trains to get to work and to return home; to discover new towns or revisit old favourites.
Trains move freight from ports to cities, and goods from cities to ports.
The RSR is the official body that oversees the safety of our country’s huge and complex railway network.
Every year, trains across South Africa take journeys totalling more than 20 million kilometres. That’s like travelling to the moon and back 26 times.
Keep up-to-date with the latest rail safety news, events, reports and resources.
