Tuesday afternoon, you may have noticed the railway crossing gates on Mountain Road and 1st Ave SE were down. That lasted for over 2 and a half hours starting around 3 pm.
Yesterday morning a CN crew was on location to finalize the required repairs. CN is still trying to work out what the problem was.
If the problem occurs again, CN asks that the CN emergency line is contacted. The phone number is 1 800 465-9239 and can be found on every CN grade crossing. By calling that number, the dispatchers will have direct contact with the signals department who would deploy the necessary equipment to regulate the problem as fast as possible.
