Good thing most people don't enter a Subway restaurant or a Metro grocery store expecting an entrance to a subway station.

And here come the trains! (Yes, I foolishly thought the trains would be moving from west to east via the tracks but ..)
Metrolinx News continues to bring you latest developments on the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) project. Today (May 25), marks the first of several Crosstown vehicle deliveries from the maintenance and storage facility on the west end of the LRT route to Toronto’s east end for testing. Take a look behind the scenes as their journey begins.
Move over station construction, here come the trains.
Up until now, most of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) updates have involved station progress happening along Eglinton Avenue for the future LRT line.
But now, starting today (May 25), the first of six light rail vehicles (LRVs) will be moved from the Eglinton maintenance and storage facility (EMSF) to Rosemount Drive on the at-grade section of the route by transport truck.
The vehicles will be delivered, with a police escort, one at a time this week and next week.
Vehicle delivery will take approximately two to three hours as the vehicle makes its way across the city, down Highway 401, until it reaches its destination at Rosemount Drive.

I just realized, these LRVs would look so much sleeker if the white panels on the bottom were pained black instead just like on the wrap they currently have on them.

What happens if it derails while testing?

Wow! A police escort. Now that's "transit priority". Too bad it will not last beyond this year.
