Railroad crossing to be closed

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad crossing at Main Street between Transit and Commercial avenues will be closed from Thursday through Monday because of a train derailment last week.

At least nine cars carrying cargo containers left the tracks Saturday in Highgrove, an unincorporated area that borders Grand Terrace to the south, officials said.
Crews will be replacing the damaged tracks, forcing the crossing to be closed.

As an alternate route, commuters can use the Center Street crossing in Highgrove or bypass Main Street and proceed north up Michigan Avenue to Barton Road.

For more information, call the Community Services Department at (909) 430-2001.
