    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Edit* That may have been the case although apparently this crossing gate, which was recently reconstructioned as the road was expanded not too long ago, would sway quite a bit in high winds, to the point where it would be appear to be just about foul of the track(s). I always thought those...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Absolute devastation on a GO train, completely smashed in window 😱☠ Accidentally posted in the wrong thread, this is definitely not construction work, unless 'deconstructed' counts. Luckily no was sitting that seat or they likely would have been killed.

    Lightsabers and fireworks, what more could a man want? 🥹👍

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    October 4th 2025 is the new tentative date the guys over there have been told. Though rumor has it Alstom may be in the picture for much much longer than that... there are rumors that OnExpress has failed entirely. No idea how valid those are but evidently most of the upper management at...

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Maybe it was the one used to lop off the top of The One's head', the OY was always very keen on cutting it's rival down to size. 😌

    Bruce Power: New Nuclear Generation Capacity

    Trump would probably spin it as if he's doing us a favor - don't need more new expensive power plants if you got no light bulbs to light.

    Mississauga Exchange District Condos | 232m | 72s | Camrost-Felcorp | Arcadis

    The front page article claims that this is now Mississauga's tallest tower but I don't think it's clear M1&2 just yet. Any chance someone could seen their drone up there to confirm this either way?

    Toronto Highland Creek Treatment Plant Contract 2 Project | 10.03m | 2s | City of Toronto | CH2M Hill

    The city should be providing at least semi-regular updates of what's happening on a multi-million dollar work site when it's not visible to the public. Even just once every few months as opposed to never would be nice.

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Urgh, I can't wait for FCP to FINALLY get dethroned by a couple hundred feet. We really could use another peak on the skyline(aside from the CNT) and this'll do well to fufill that.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    That's only for extra event trains or Niagara service. The vast majority of trains still have just the one CSA. Just what I heard when I was there, thank god I'm not anymore but many of my friends still are, but I wasn't there from the start so guess I heard wrong about the CN part. It's how I...

    Hate to break it to you but they've already deprioritized safety in the name of on-time performance metrics. Trains no longer hold at a platform if someone presses the priority alarm, too many false alarms they say. So now they are to get going first and then only once they've left the station...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    The entire crew base received termination letters from Alstom, as required by the ESA. They also went through a hiring process with OOI, including medical testing (where applicable) and background checks. The only step skipped was interviews. However, Alstom later filed a "successorship" claim...

    Toronto The One | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

    That poor 'ol security guard is looking awful lonely there... Nice of you to give him some human company for a minute 🥹

    Where is that snazzy purple reflection coming from!? 😍

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    It hasn't because the schedule is already well padded, also there's many been slow orders around that area for a while including one right now for exactly 45 at one of the turnouts. The idea they seem to be going for is that a future schedule will have two trains meet up at the exact middle of...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    They don't care enough about crews to give them lunch breaks lol. Not a single job has an offical lunch break built into it. There's down times where crews change ends or trains but even then they're officially supposed to still be monitoring the radio and its not offically a lunch break...

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Damn these boys sure build fast!! The kiddies palying in the sandbox over at The One should take some notes 😏 But in all seriousness I still think One Yonge will be completed first.

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    And the yet to be built height is taller than any completed skyscraper in Vancouver, Burnaby, the entire GTA outside of Toronto and possibly Montreal, aside from that pointy thing on top of on Le 1250 René-Lévesque.

    Toronto Woodbine GO Station | 14.01m | 2s | Metrolinx | GHD

    Interesting, looks like 6 tracks in total there 🧐 But before anyone gets excited, I assume the north and south-most tracks are just non-main service tracks.

    Toronto Concord Canada House | 231.97m | 74s | Concord Adex | Arcadis

    I don't think anyone is saying they're anything special, but the towers themselves are hardly the disaster that some were claiming they would be. Agreed
