    Watch a police officer give tickets to 3 drivers with minute of each other who told the other 2 to wait while he was finishing writing the first one up at Bathurst. It was an unmarked car. Traffic was non-existent but I did see a few drivers run intersections that they were not to do in the...

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Most routes started out on the surface when ridership was low to begin with and there was no need to tunnel in the first place. Soil condition and the age of the buildings pay a big part if tunneling can take place. The city layout also determines if tunneling of a line could take place as well...

    It never really worked on the opening days of Line 2 nor will it work today without messing up the Spadina Line service. Lower Bay is used for many things that makes money for TTC which TTC needs badly.

    General railway discussions

    It was quite common that the crossing was blocked as much as 20 minutes or more from my visits over the years. Sometime, a westbound train had to be made up that was on 2-3 tracks to be one long train. At times, shunting was done on the west end instead of the east end. The mainline is one...

    Looks like 5-6 sections to go to connect both sides together. Beautiful view of the deck and ramp. The area I shot in March that was having hording place to have the deck pour, is now poured.

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Several systems that I have seen have sections where batteries are required due to the area and no place to string wires. Nice comes to mind where the plaza area is wire free with the line being wired on both sides of it. It took 10 seconds to convert to either system while stop at the stations...

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Does it have overhead, or does it run on battery?? There are tons of examples in Europe where trams run though the city centre with and without overhead like Brampton without any issues

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Thanks Looks like duct work from the switch to the switchbox still has to be done or for a signal mast that is to be installed where the metal rods(?) are. Otherwise, it looks the same as I saw it a few weeks ago with work completed on the signal boxes.

    VIA Rail

    One can sit so long in one place that they have to get up and do some walking from my experience in Europe on long train rides. When it comes to sleeping, one can stay in their room for a limited time beside sleeping that they need to be out of the room and amount people. Going to the new...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Unless there are some serious issues underground, then 2026 could be an opening day, but 2025 will be the opening day at this time.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    You are saving 2 buses and 7 drivers for each tram. Once the ridership exceeded the 5-minute schedule, you reduce the headway until you need to add a second car that will save more buses and drivers.
