Work still taking place on the new Kennedy platform. No changes to the track to the north of the station.
Agincourt GO Station.
Finally made a visit to the station and some big chances since I was last there. Looks like Mextrolinx bought out a few buildings to expand the parking lot.
The new tunnel to the new centre platform in place with forming taking place for the stairs and elevators to the new platform and on the west side of the existing one. Noise Barrier up on both side of the corridor to the north of the station as well grading for the 2nd track taking place.
Like the art work on the station windows and needs to happen at other stations.
Millikan GO Station.
Didn't look at the station work at all.
Shoring taking place on the south side of Steeles on the west side of the track. One road to the plaza close and a new walkway to the station in place Some shoring on the north side on the east side of the track has taken place.
Excavation taking place on the east side of the track on the south side and had to laugh at what I saw on the steel supporting the excavation. The I beam is a 24 WF 84 cut from a 65' beam roll in Spain. Never seen a 65' beam as NA rolls 60' unless special roll at high tonnage order. Must got a cheap price since off shore steel can be 5 cent to $1 a pound cheaper than Canadian Mills, let alone US Minn Mills.
Only seen 2 signs so far for station expansion and looks like Metrolinx is doing one of a kind for them other than changing the station name on one sign. Guess this Ford Budget cutting.
