Residents of Portage la Prairie are being advised to anticipate longer wait times at railway crossings due to a waterline break in proximity to the railway.
Over the weekend, the City of Portage la Prairie communicated the news via social media. According to the city's Facebook post, the waterline break triggered a request to CN and CP to reduce their speeds within city limits. This, in turn, will cause longer waiting times for trains within city limits.
No information has been provided on how long it will take to fix this waterline break.
