Canadian Pacific engineers have built more than 450 meters of special barriers called slide fences uphill along rails and areas prone to

s. A weak electrical current is passed through the fence wires to create a circuit that is monitored by a sensor.

Any rock falling from the cliffs has hit the fences and snapped their wires breaking the circuit, triggering an alarm. Any alert is picked up by rail traffic control and the sensor automatically activates signals along the way. The tracks warn train crews to slow down or stop these sliding vents. It is an important safety device because that way we do not run the trains at the speed of the tracks in a possible situation. We're just on our way back to the airport.
