    Thanks JU For getting “The rest of the Story” about no train testing. . About the rubber. Is this the rubber placed underneath the tracks themselves to cushion them for less noise and a smooth ride? I saw it being placed all the way from Ionview to Vic Park and wherever tracks were being laid.

    One thing that slowed the progress of other construction was new tunneling for Massey Creek.This is at Rosemount.Eglinton had to be dug up in sections and there were unforeseen problems. It took much longer to finish replacing all road work. Then shoring work continued for another year not...

    Toronto Toronto | Kipling Station Transit Hub | ?m | 2s | Metrolinx | SAI

    I found the Soffville line handy as I was close to the Agincourt Stn. . It used to stop at Danforth Stn. I got off there so I could go east to Oshawa to get the GO 88 bus to Peterborough. Now I have to take Warden to the Subway to Main then the walk to Danforth. How about a stop at Scarborough...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Sorry. I meant to add that I took these photos in 1979 and scanned them from my slides. Thought the north view of CN Track would interest everyone with no SRT beside it..

    How much work has been completed or ongoing under the tracks of Line1 at the Cedarvale station for the new LRT station underneath? For instance,the mining out to join the two tunnels (east and west) where the TBM’s could not go through. Is there now a raw station box of concrete forming parts of...

    Toronto Toronto | Spadina Subway Extension Emergency Exits | ?m | 1s | TTC | IBI Group

    I noticed all the trains had an additional sound to them when in automatic train control from Sheppard West to Vaughn.It sounded a bit like a pickup truck with heavy duty tires on pavement. When the trains came into or left a station it was most noticeable. Now,when the trains left Sheppard West...
