MONCTON, N.B. — Ottawa says it will close particularly dangerous rail crossings and upgrade many others as it moves to improve rail safety. Federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau announced Tuesday that Transport Canada will provide $16.5 million for 136 new projects. That will include improvements to 104 grade crossings and other rail infrastructure across the country. “Rail safety is my top priority,” Garneau said in a statement.
