Crossing Concerns Raised at Fort Council


Transport Canada is looking at new guidelines regarding safety at rail crossings.

Fort Frances Councillor Ken Perry says it's the length of trains passing those crossings that becoming a bigger concern for this area.

He says with rail companies already looking at trains stretching as much as two to three miles in lengths, wait times at the McIrvine Road crossing could become that much longer.

The town will consider making a submission to Transport Canada expressing its concerns.
