That reddit thread has a few people that have worked on the project chiming in. Seems like quite the dumpster fire. We've seen some of it in person down here in Millwoods, but WOW!

Backing out of Gerry Wright Waiting for EPS and the Pilot Truck escorts to get setup and the time to hit 0000hrs - likely when their permit for the oversized load commenced This is the ramp they were using to unload the cars downtown 1007 is loaded up tonight so if anyone is interested...

1023 was all the way down at the Avonmore station on my way home from work yesterday. It was northbound on the southbound tracks.

Piers have been numbered it seems. The one north of Argyll has a P1 taped to it, the one south has a P2 taped to it.

Western Pacific truick parked near the 41 Ave crossovers. Grounding cables on both tracks on each side of the truck. Again with more stuff that would cause a shutdown if the line was actually operating but we hear nothing from Transed???

So power is off in Millwoods again this afternoon - Western Pacific trucks parked on both tracks at MWTC, one with a big spool of cable. Signal post across the from the firehall has a pile of wires hanging out the access hole at the base of the pole with another Western Pacific truck there...

With the amount of random stuff that keeps popping up that they are fixing it makes me have doubts the line is even capable of running. As @EdwardEdm mentioned - why is the power off to the OMF leads? Why is the power off in Millwoods? There hasn't been any work along the line in either...

Moving anything by crane is horribly expensive. Transed doesn't have a crane in their fleet that I've seen. Any time they've had to do anything that was a large lift they had a contracted crane come in. For example unloading the rail milling machine...

More concrete issues on the Vaelly line.... I can't find it now, but there was an article saying that concrete results in 8% of the worlds GHG emissions. Just how many years does this line have run to cover the GHG emissions created during construction? The thousands of meters of concrete...

How do you service the trains - such as cleaning and maintenance? The shops are south of the affected area. There are also only 2 cars north of the affected piers - how effective are two cars going to be? What happens in the event of a breakdown? How do you get the car back to the shop to be...

So I've noticed some of the P/R messages on the info boards at the station. One of them is about no smoking on the train or in the station, however there is one that states food and drink on the trains or in the stations is prohibited. Good luck enforcing that when it's allowed on ETS - I...

Haven't seen much in the way for repair work at all. My bets are a year delay due to this. All the engineering etc that needs to go into finding a solution will take some time.

Saw a genie man lift over on the east side of 75 street by the pillars there too. Wonder if they are worried about those ones now as well? Would be nice if we got some info out of CoE or Transed on what the heck is happening.

UT oh... Looks like they chose the same supplier as Transed did for the concrete - hopefully Marigold has better luck with them!

Blaming one big issue while doing a whole pile of other stuff seems to be how Transed operates. Look how long they blamed the concrete in the river for the delays - yet they're replacing 3 sections of guideway and a section of the bridge over the whitemud, but "It's the concrete in the river we...

Saw someone south of 31 Ave with a hand held concrete saw cutting into the concrete the track is embedded into. Wonder if we will hear the song of the Transed jackhammers yet again in Millwods

Not Transed's fault for once. They are paving Wagner road in front of the school this weekend.

But they are making the motorists and pedestrians guinea pigs as they drive back and forth on the same old section of track. Living next to that same old section of track as they go back and forth empty is getting quite annoying. In other news I did see car 1023 running at Bonnie Doon today so...

They were storing a train at muttart station. Guess they could store a couple in the tunnels as well
