The skid steer and excavator have been removed from the West Highland Creek bridge staging area/parking lot south of Agincourt GO station. Five sandbags have been placed in the creek while another 20+ remain up top in the staging area. No further work has been completed since we saw the heavy...

The prior cancelled construction weekend closures to accommodate Jays home games.

…so a good signal will be if we see 6+ Stouffville weekend closures scheduled in 2026.

I saw the 4:50pm 6-car northbound train to Unionville leave Union today as I waited for my 5:00pm 12-car northbound train that went further north. The 5pm train sat on the western edge of the same platform waiting for the smaller train to depart. I just passed a southbound 6-car train at 5:39pm...

Phase 1 is Kennedy to Highland Creek bridge, not the entire double tracking of this segment of the line. While we think of the Kennedy to Unionville double track, grade separation, station renovations etc. as one big upgrade I'm sure it's actually a dozen individual contracts. Once the final...

The layover facility at Unionville GO has not been built yet, although I have seen A&B Rail work trucks parked in the area north of the station where its planned. The 5:37pm train has been sitting on platform 2 when I pass it on my commute home around 4:30pm each day the last two months...

I dropped my wife off at Unionville GO to use the "new" 5.37pm southbound train to Union. This counter peak 6-car train service is definitely creating induced demand vs. the bus service it replaced. I suppose another benefit is crew efficiency given this southbound train no longer sits at...

I’ve been keeping my eye out for Metrolinx’s 2025 update to Toronto’s city council. This is from November 2024 Stouffville Rail Corridor Expansion (Second Track and Signals, Part 2) In-corridor upgrades including grading, double-tracking, and new signals are underway. This project is divided...

This was included in Rob Cerjanec email to people who signed his petition for LSE Express trains. Response from Metrolinx’s CEO to My Letter Earlier this week, I received a response from the CEO of Metrolinx. While the response provided slightly more information, many important questions...

An additional Fourth Track early work notice for the LSE corridor was published. This is in addition to the previous notice for the Gerrard to Woodbine fourth track segment that will initially be used to store rail equipment on a siding and the Danforth GO station renovations to accommodate a...

Does connecting the fourth track in this manner create a bend as trains approach Danforth GO, which would require them to slow down even if they don’t stop at the station? Stouffville, Express LSE, VIA etc.?

This may be a dumb question, but if all the preparation for a fourth track in the LSE corridor occurred north of the current tracks how does adding a new south platform/track to Danforth GO align to the fourth track?

Metrolinx has uploaded a slide deck going over Danforth GO Early Works https://assets.metrolinx.com/raw/upload/Images/Metrolinx/Toronto%20East/MX-LSE_Early_Works_PresentationBoards_Danforth_8.25.2025_restoration_edits.pptx Starting in Spring 2026: New south platform (is this for the fourth...

From the Sep 11 Board Capital Projects Report Metrolinx has identified a segment of the RH line to pilot ETCS Level 2. Early works begin in late 2025. I can’t recall if it’s in this thread or the Ontario Line thread, but there’s a mention of converting the existing berm at East Harbour into a...

The latest LSE Joint Corridor CLC suggests the retaining walls/berm will be complete by the end of 2025. Additionally, the Dundas and Logan bridges will be in good shape by year end if not completed by the spring. The Queen bridge for GO is already complete, but the OL bridge over Queen will...

Those are nice photos in the “update” slides. I was referring to the written quarterly reports. I’ve edited my original post.
