Railway tracks in Salmon Arm receive summer makeover

CP says presence of large crew in area simply for track maintenance

CP says nothing is amiss.

The crew has been conducting general track and ballast maintenance in the area, says spokesperson Andy Cummings. That is, replacing ties if needed and maintaining the track bed below the ties.
