^ what's the relevance of the Royal York Road? You mentioned "for 433 Front St W" but the link in bold is for the dev app for the Mimico GO Station.

Curious browser behaviour. I have cut and pasted many things since I was looking at Royal York Road, and I don't know why my browser would point there. I thought I was cutting and pasting the link to 433 Front W, which is what I was intending to point at.

Here's the link for the materials for 433 Front St W: http://app.toronto.ca/AIC/index.do?folderRsn=6TlUTKP4OEzQFnHBI/d4sQ==
The most recent materials were uploaded in June 2020.

Look Mamaa.........There is daylight under Steeles GO Bridge.
Haft of the eastbound lanes have been excavated to allow construction travel under the new bridge and work on utilities that need to be install before other work can take place. Excavating taking place for the new west stairs and elevator to the east platform.
I see Metrolinx has got the supplier of the concrete ties to put GO logo on the ties.
Excavating has started on the west stairs to the new Steeles sidewalk and you can see the new stair as well the entrance.
First station I have seen with a centre column about every 100' for the new canopy on the east platform in place of the normal 2. Had to laugh watching 2 iron workers as they weren't sure if the steel beam was in the correct location with one looking at the plan. I almost ask them to give me the plan since I know how to read it and was sure the beam was in the correct location based on the beams on the opposite side.
Photos to follow.

There is a healthy condo market in Grimsby actually. Lots of units getting built on the north side of the QEW right close to the station.

That's a standard thing for any concrete tie order. It's a simple plate that is exchanged within the mould. CN's have a CN noodle, Amtrak's have their logo, etc.

Have seen a lot of Metrolinx concrete ties with no logo and have yet to see CN or other RR with their logo.

Metrolinx holds mock disaster in and around new Union Station bus depot
Don’t be alarmed if you see what appears to be a disastrous situation unfolding at the brand new GO bus hub near Union Station.

No, you haven't. Even the ties installed in the GO Sub in the 1980s have logos in them. The ties installed at the various station upgrade programs over the past couple of years (Danforth, Rouge Hill, Exhibition) all have them.
CN doesn't use a lot of concrete ties down in this part of Canada, but I can assure you having seen them up close that they're there, and in the same location as the GO logo.

Yep!!...........real surprised to see this last week when I shot the area. Find it odd considering other stations are seeing concrete.
Hard to tell if the new west end is open now from the photo, but it was almost ready the day I was there. The east ramp from the accessibility platform will be block off to allow the reconstruction of the missing section of the east platform that needs to be rebuilt.
Looks like 6207 still waiting for CP to pick it up for a trip to TB.

Is Metrolinx only building 3 platforms at Mount Dennis? I know the ECLRT predates GO Expansion/RER, but it would be a shame since Weston and Bloor are getting 4. I assume that Mount Dennis will eventually get a fourth, but after construction wraps up?
