I second my compliment of Nolan's article quality. As for whether this gets done, given the price tag we've seen on other projects, on a line that's on the back-burner, this seems dead in the water for now. PLus, between flooding in the Lower Don Valley, Alto and the whole "GO 2.0" concept, I...

Thought I'd drop in here and offer two playlists of all Canadian music that I've maintained over the years. Late Canadian Indie Cool Can Beats These were reconstructed and grown from the list I used to keep on my CBC Radio 3 profile before they nuked the old backend. I trust you'll find...

From LinkedIn, confrimation that the F59's got more than a repaint.

To get back on track regarding Eglinton, do we have details on how the TSP activated yesterday on Finch is being replicated for Eglinton? Will it be exactly the same, or will there be differences like the shortened green extension?

I'm going to be that guy that kicks a thread created 18 years ago, started by a user not seen since COVID vaccinations started rolling out, and post some pictures first shared on BlueSky. I'm not a professional and lean on my phone camera, but I focus on documenting rather than expending too...

If anything, today's weather may cause issues in Wellington / Waterloo and west Halton / Hamilton due to ice. These areas were projected to be the worst prior to GO issuing the service adjustment. Why it warranted systemwide adjustment is beyond me.

I am less knowledgable than Dan, but will guess that TTR probably is most familiar with what lies below the tracks. In addition to the signals, there was lots of infrastructure supporting heating from the Central Heating Plant throughout the corridor. The CHP is long gone, but I imagine the...

As per the track standards I posted earlier, I believe it's referring to the "screw spike" that, as per "Spiking Pattern E", needs to be at all four corners of the plate, in addition to the clips.

2030 is: 8 years since the EA was finalized 16 years since a ribbon cutting ceremony highlighted this as a Pan Am Path legacy project At least 25 years since the trail was constructed from Cardell Ave over the river and under the 401

They should really give the light plastic a buff, that's so haggard.

I'm just glad we're far past that ugly pale yellow 1990s MSPaint-looking map.

I think this photo shows why detailed track inspections are not being undertaken and defects would be hard to detect. The snow is caked over the corridor. Normally Toronto doesn't have so much snow, and we've had a couple undesirable melts due to temperature and/or rain to better expose the...

Out of curiousity, I looked a couple of these up in the MTS. "Effective immediately, all curves within the Union Station Rail Corridor must have a weekly walking curve inspection compliant with MTS 15.6.2." "Spiking pattern in conformance of requirements in Appendix R of the Metrolinx Track...
