Probably wouldn't. It needs to make it here this weekend for a chance to enter service this month.

To do that, it needs to be on a flat in CP yard for tonight pickup and be at Hillcrest Monday to make Aug service. Hasn't been out for testing yet. Could be ship end of next week, but track record says Aug 28.
This puts us on a pace of only seeing 4427 in service by year end

Yes and no. That's only 4 more cars in 2016 if 4402 is delivered this month.
Last year, after 4410 arrived on August 26, they delivered 4411-4416 also in 2015.

So far they seem to be keeping on a schedule of one every two weeks or so. Hopefully at this point the productions problems and delays will be behind them and we can actually start seeing more of them in service in other parts of the city then just the there routes they have them on now.

4404 derailed at King and Bathurst, via Twitter:

My friend posted a video on facebook driving the opposite direction of the backed up streetcars. 25 in a row (including 2-3 double length) before there's any sort of break that isn't an intersection. I've never seen anything like it before.

I wonder what would happen if (when) one of those derails and over bends the articulation joint.

Newstalk 1010 is having a kanipshin over this. Blaming this on the new streetcar...as if this couldn't happen to a CLRV.

I wonder which part of the articulation structure has the most give, or has a built-in break point. I'm trusting that the scenario was considered in the design.

I also wonder what the power module does when the whhels slip - reduce by bogie? By axle? All you need in a pushing-around-corner scenario on a wet rail day is for the front wheelset to power down and leave the rearmost wheelset doing the pushing.

CBC now reports the Flexity was coupled behind a disabled ALRV, attempting to push it back to the yard.

My friend's video.
He said there were SIXTY TWO backed up streetcars because of this but he started filming this video late.

That makes no sense. There aren't even 62 cars on the entire 504+514 lines combined.

I heard there were Queen cars on King as well because of a diversion. Also, he may have counted the double length ones as two.
