Safety fencing near Oldenzaal
Red-and-white fences, like sentries along the railway lines
There they stand, the striking red-and-white fences, like sentries along the railway lines. They may not be the first thing you think of when you think of the railway, but they play a crucial role. These fences are the unsung heroes that make sure work along the track goes safely and efficiently.
In an age when safety and efficiency go hand in hand, these red-and-white fences embody both. They are a practical and efficient way to keep people working along the track safe. And although they may not win any beauty contests, they have become a symbol of care and caution in the rail industry in their own right!
So the next time you see a red-and-white fence while travelling by train, give it a quiet nod of appreciation. It stands there so that everyone, from the worker on the track to the passenger on the train, travels safely.
We thank Safelines BV & VolkerRail for the trust they have placed in us.
