CN Crews Work to Rehabilitate Railway Crossing
Michelle Pinon News Advertiser CN crews continue to work on phase one of a railway crossing rehabilitation project in the Town of Vegreville. Jonathan Abecassis, a media spokesman for CN, said the crossing rehabilitation would improve safety for local road traffic at Hwy 857 in Vegreville. A full rehabilitation of the crossing
will be completed during the 2020 construction season. “The work commenced March 5, 2020 and CN crews are working expediently to perform this necessary work. We thank the community and those travelling on the highway for their patience and apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause,” stated Abecassis.
Snow Rollers Fascinate Vegreville Resident Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Vegreville resident Ken Potts was excited to see a field of snow rollers across from his house along 46 Avenue and 52 Street the morning of March 2. Potts, who has lived in Vegreville since 2005, said he has never seen the meteorological phenomenon since moving out West. A snow roller is a rare meteorological phenomenon in which large snowballs are formed naturally as chunks of snow are blown along the ground by wind, picking up material along the way, in much the same way that the large snowballs used in snowmen are made. They can be as small as a tennis ball, but they can also be bigger than a car. Most snow rollers are a few inches or centimeters wide.
