I like the word.Unrelated, but we we stop using this word? It's ghastly corporate speak for the word "use" which means the exact same thing and it's immensely annoying. /endrant

In today's Guelph Mercury-Tribune:
https://www.guelphmercury.com/news-...t-work-on-guelph-rail-crossing-starts-friday/
I was through that ex-intersection (Silvercreek railway crossing. "Hanlon" sign sits right on top of where Silvercreek used to cross, an underpass planned, but signals and hut right on ground zero for that) just a week ago, and noticed the track sections pre-assembled with very heavy rail and much lower tangential turnouts. The road bed is going to need some levelling too, as the sidings now sit about a foot or so lower than the mainline.
Apologies for poor pic quality, it's an inexpensive cell phone I carry as I have a habit losing good quality stuff cycling long distance. I was taken aback at how the pre-assembly was done by a private company. Waybills were still attached to some assemblies.

July 05
late as too much to do and too many photos to fix for GO Stouffville Line
At McNicoll Crossing
Steeles
The proof is in the pic:^I’m told by a reliable source that there is no intention to install a siding at Guelph at this time, but that #20 switch can only be in anticipation of higher speeds on a diverging path.

Guelph Track Improvements: Imperial Road to Edinburgh Road
Metrolinx has begun a multi-year construction program to expand and improve service on GO Transit’s Kitchener line. Improving GO service means upgrading existing infrastructure to increase speeds and ensure the safety of trains travelling through the Guelph Subdivision. The first phase of work, which started in April, is still underway. You have probably noticed that we are clearing vegetation from the corridor and installing and upgrading fencing.

Very common for this area from what I have heard. Been there only a few times, each time I saw fools do this on both sides and once being done on both sides at the same time. I posted a video showing another fool doing this some weeks ago.What an irresponsible and idiotic move in the last pic!!!
