Trains and Railway Crossings

The Town of Olds is home to two public railway crossings. While the crossings are within town limits, the railway tracks, trains and crossing operations are owned and managed by Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Railway.

Questions or concerns about train operations, including:

• Train whistles or horns
• Trains blocking crossings
• Idling or stopped trains
• Wheel or rail noise
• Crossing signals or railway crossing equipment

should be directed to CPKC Rail, as these matters are regulated and managed by the railway company rather than the Town.

If a railway crossing is malfunctioning or a train is blocking a crossing and creating an immediate safety concern, use the emergency phone number posted on the crossing signal (blue Emergency Notification System sign). This number connects directly to the railway's operations centre and is the fastest way to report the issue. Transport Canada also recommends using the emergency number posted at the crossing for signal malfunctions or blocked crossings.

The Public Works Department provides services relating to the roadways, alleys and all signage.
