Prairie Rail Solutions - Rail Car Movement Alert

Please see a message from Prairie Rail Solutions below:

Prairie Rail Solutions would like to inform you that we will be conducting multiple railcar movements in and around the town of Grosse Isle during the week of Monday December 16th, 2024. The multiple railcar movements during this week are to mitigate any disruptions during the holiday season. PRS will resume its operations after January 2nd, 2025. 

Key Details:

 

Date: Week of December 16 - 20, 2024. 

Hours of Operation: Railcar movement will take place between 9:00AM and 6:00 PM

Areas Affected: Grosse Isle and surrounding areas along the rail corridor.

 

What to Expect:

 

  • Increased Rail Activity: Residents will notice railcars and equipment moving throughout the area during the scheduled time.
  • Noise and Vibration: There may be elevated noise levels and vibrations due to rail operations, including the movement of machinery and coupling/uncoupling of railcars.
  • Crossings May Be Temporarily Blocked: Railway crossings may be temporarily blocked while railcars are being moved.

 

Commitment to Minimizing Disruption:

 

PRS will not block crossings from 08:30 a.m. to 09:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. If switching is required during these time frames, our crews will ensure that the crossings remain clear so that school children, buses, and parents are not prevented from bringing children to or from school.

 

Safety Precautions:

 

  • Exercise Caution: Please avoid walking near rail tracks during operations. Cross tracks only at designated crossings and follow all warning signals.
  • Keep Children and Pets Safe: We advise residents to be particularly vigilant in keeping children and pets at a safe distance from the rail activity.

 

We understand this may cause temporary inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this essential work.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at gm@prairierailsolutions.com or operations@prairierailsolutions.com

 

Thank you for your attention.
