    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    Are the tracks for Lakeshore East and West on the south side of the train shed? (outside the train shed) - Would it not be possible to electrify these newer tracks without worrying about the constraints of the shed? - I also think it might be time to talk about removing the train shed! I had...

    Toronto Cycling Map archive

    Here is a bike map I made a few years back trying improve natvigation of the network... making "Subway" lines out of each corridor. Equating line thickness to level of protection. I will update it soon.... Enjoy! www.andrewmaps.com

    Alto - High Speed Rail (Toronto-Quebec City)

    I've posted this in the other thread also... This map I made awhile back, just ensuring that EXO is involved (for the their benefit and to help pay for it) (please excuse the LRT de l'Est concept still in there)

    Quebec-Windsor Corridor

    I've posted this before... But any tunnel idea would benefit in buy-in from EXO commuter trains (to help pay for it) - I wonder if they are thinking of that? - excuse this map has the old LRT de L'est concept. With only one underground station, it perhaps wouldn't cost toooo much?

    Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

    Sorry to keep harping on this... It struck me how diligently the new yet-unopened section is being plowed, compared to the well-used section! There is no obvious reason why this is enduring (to me anyway) - looking south / looking north from Wallace bridge

    Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

    I find it unbelievable how long this 200m(?) section has taken to open... Its been complete for at least 4 months now and still requires an on-street detour. (detour sign said till september 2024) They also plow it!! Even though its still closed off - They actually move barriers and fences to...

    VIA Rail

    What is the cost for a shunt enhancer for one locomotive? Would buying 32(?) of these be a more simple solution? How long would it take to install? I hate the idea of giving in to the CN bullies, but the speed restriction should be lifted asap. Maybe the court could decide that CN pays for...

    Guelph-Cambridge Initial Business Case - Battery Multiple Units now proposed

    Oh, ok, I get it... the DMU stops at the existing platform, then accesses the trail track before coming back? yes, that seems much easier! Thanks for the clarification

    Guelph-Cambridge Initial Business Case - Battery Multiple Units now proposed

    Wouldn't a station east of the bridge be a lot further? I would think my option at least you could connect from the same station - I would imagine a seperate station being a much worse passenger experience? Also, seasoned regular users would position themselves closer to the transfer point...

    Ottawa Transit Developments

    3 seat ride from the airport. seems like a hassle. Would be nice if they could find some way to interline into the downtown tunnel - costly/perhaps impossible connection at Bayview? I imagine this will become a pinchpoint with people transfering at Bayview. Though glad all this investment is...

    Guelph-Cambridge Initial Business Case - Battery Multiple Units now proposed

    Would it not be possible to have a small siding, capable of holding one 2 or 3 car DMU? A retaining wall would be needed and a connection to the new (currently unused) southside platform. The Wynham bridge (nor any other bridge) would not need to be widened. Also a storage siding could be...

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    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?

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    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!

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    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...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    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...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    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...
