Rail Crossing Repairs
Recent Crossing Upgrades
GSR along with its partner R.M has begun our 2021 grade crossing replacement project. This year is very exciting as our partner R.M’s and the GSR have committed to replacing 74 crossings between Burstall, SK and Swift Current. This represents the biggest crossing replacement the rail line has ever seen in its history. These upgrades will improve the safety and quality of the crossings for vehicles that cross our right of way.
GSR would like to thank the R.M’s of Swift Current, Sask Landing, Riverside, Miry Creek, Clinworth, Happy Land and Deer Forks for their support of this very important project!
