    There is a giant digital message board at that intersection that literally flashes No Right Turn!!! and there is no turn bay, plus whatever regular no right turn signage. Sorry cabby but that one is definitely on you.

    I've seen a cop in the middle of that intersection because they got west of the tracks but the light changed before they could clear the intersection. I try and avoid driving west through there if I can l.

    Trains are back and forth along the whole line for almost a whole.month now. Signals were messed up at 36A Ave this morning. There was a train either side of the intersection, one in the station at 38 Ave and one just cresting the hill north of 34 Ave. Looked like the right turn signal was...

    How would that be warranty? Warranty is to fix defects, not some idiot driving into the side of it.

    I don't think that'll buff out. I didn't get back with my camera soon enough to catch a picture of the truck that smoked it.

    They have those signs at most intersections but the placement is wrong imho

    So it seems like TransEd might have their poop in a group now? Seeing a lot more simulated service the last few days. Along with that simulated service is massive traffic delays at the crossings. On Sunday the line for WB traffic on 82 Ave was almost halfway back to 75 street. This morning I...

    I went through on Whyte Ave on the weekend and noticed there was a super long delay before east/west got a green after the trains went through. From watching the lights it seems like they have a set cycle that happens once a train goes through (at least on 38 Ave, not sure about Whyte). They...

    Well it was a day of grounding cables and derails on my way home today. Western Pacific working at Bonnie Doon north of the crossover yet again - something must really be screwed up there as they seem to always be there. Grounding cables and derails at the north end of the elevated guideway...

    Not much in the way of trains on the way home today. Two car train pulled into Bonnie Doon northbound and waited. There was a single car train holding south of Whyte ave to enter the station northbound as well. Not sure what happened there - things looked to be running pretty smoothly this...

    They have been the last couple of weeks. I've seen trains up on the elevated sections a few times while driving by or getting gas at the shell there.

    Ground heaters moved into 38 Ave station earlier this week. Drove by today and there was two sets of grounding cables installed just north of 38 Ave. An army of pickup trucks in the station tonight with tents on the NB and SB tracks. I suspect it's Western Pacific working on something do with...

    Grounding cables and derails installed at the north end of the elevated section again today on the way home - both tracks. Wonder what was going on today they had it closed it down.

    I have noticed they are running trains way more frequently and closer together as of late. Almost like they are simulating actual service levels or close to it? I haven't driven alongside a train recently to see what speeds they're reaching. The last time I did they weren't even anywhere...

    There is no where to paint them. You need to move the stop lines back. The ones for the right turn bays in Millwoods the hood of your vehicle is like 3 feet from the tracks if you stop with your front wheels at the stop line. They're way too close as @whatchyyc mentioned.

    Is it just me or have they placed those no right turn train light up signs in poor locations? For example the one at Bonnie Doon of you are first in line you are either underneath it or even past it when you are at the stop line. Same as the ones up 66 street - they are on the main traffic...

    I noticed on my drive into work this morning that not all piers got this middle section filled in. There is one like this and the one next to it just has the metal support on it.

    Saw this train coming into MWTC this afternoon at lunch time. I originally thought that red thing on the side was some kind of clearance gauge, but turns out it's just a wire taped up the side that goes to the roof. Almost looks like the used a whole roll of tape on it. I wonder if they have...

    A bunch of the piers by Wagner are unwrapped. Really hope they are going to paint the scabbed on bandaids or something. They looks pretty bad IMHO.
