Does anyone know if the ATC work on Line 1 (that took so many years to complete) has had any positive effect on service reliability? It seems there are signal issues quite frequently... Is this project complete? I was under the impression that "everything would get better" after ATC - I dare...

Right, was just showing the route - 1929 it stopped?

I did this illustration for the museum in Guelph last year - maybe ION/GO street running along Waterloo into downtown Guelph can be reinstated? Exiting the Fergus sub at Silvercreek - site of the old silvercreek brewery - Who ever wudda thought?! Sorry this verging on fantasy territory!

I think the Guelph to Cambridge (DMU?) should go right into Cambridge on alignment built for the ION... Is there a way to intergrate those together? Assuming Guelph service arrives every 30 minutes (at best!), this could be slotted in - maybe a third platform at the terminal? Would be annoying...

Just a nice pic of ION...

Hey, do you when this construction will take place? I live right next to the Norfolk bridge and can't seem to get info on anything! - since it seems no visible work is happening west of Dublin, I assumed they would reinstate the switch (and existing signal) to be the western end of the double...

Breaking the North track bridge (Wilson st) apart - 20mph restriction on the new track After speaking with the workers, it sounds like the this is only a temporary track flip to replace the bridges - sadly the 2nd track from Guelph Central to the Hanlan will not be constructed for at least...

2nd track flopped down over Wilson/Gordon bridges in downtown Guelph...

Wilson Street Bridge being installed.... As part of double tracking In Downtown Guelph

McCallian Stallion?

I think this is good news... there is no reason it cannot be both. There are countless examples. Guelph, K/W, Hamilton, Toronto... It may mean a lower capacity single track line with passing loops sometime in the future, but this is a positive step forward.

Yes, and also the Large (6 car double decker?) Mascouche trains will disgorge many passengers at Côte-de-Liesse mostlikely overwhelming the tiny 4-car REM trains... Taking them directly downtown makes most sense.

Would like to know how much research went into the Pink Line route... As the Southern part of my route would essentially mimick that alignment. (including the portal) The Pink Line was expected to surface around the area of my portal and travel at grade in the corridor until Montreal Ouest...

Yes - very costly (but quite beneficial!) I was thinking for the tunnel to dive down after Atwater and basically follow the path of the proposed PInk Line - Not sure how much technical work they did on that? The Pink Line presumably had a station under Gare Centrale. But its somewhere to start.

Talking about the Electrification of St. Jerome Commuter Line and VIA HFR new tunnel options - This alignment offers significant improvements to St. Jerome, Mascouche, Candiac and Vaudreuil/Hudson Lines by allowing ALL commuter trains direct access to Gare Centrale, while allowing VIA an even...

These are all great ideas... thought I was getting carried away taking the Ocean to London, but hey, yeah, why not Chicago/Winnipeg? - with maps like these, we can do whatever we want. cheers

Got it thanks!

....dreaming of a better day for VIA

Sure thing - This sort of thing I imagine could go in tandem with aggressive road markings to help people navigate their desired "line". By all means share away! I would love to take this further... I did one for Guelph too - would love to do more.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like it... funny, as soon as I posted it, i started updating it! I've fixed Waterfront and Dundas - just looking for more fixes now. You are right about the Bellwoods connection - thats what I do now. I will consider that while we wait an eternity for WTRT...
