Canada investing in rail safety

Canada’s government has earmarked a multi-year investment of more than CAD 10 million (EUR 6.9 million) for a rail infrastructure project in Port-Daniel-Gascons, Québec.
The project will involve installing a large retaining wall to protect the cliffs along the coastline against further erosion and possible collapse, repairing the train tracks, and installing a water drainage system beneath the tracks as well as building a ditch between the adjacent road and the tracks.
The nearby roads and a portion of the Gaspésie Railway are vulnerable to severe weather events and climate change phenomena. The project will therefore increase rail safety in the area, the government said. (ben)
