Early 2022When were these taken?
well that explains the lack of progress....Early 2022
@smallspy I had heard that they chose to grind the rails at the surface intersections instead of ripping everything up. How this fares for the long term longevity of the rail itself remains to be seen.Prior to the website going down, they had put out construction notices for some quick-and-limited construction work to be done at many of the at-grade intersections. Those dates have come-and-gone, although I neither saw the work occur nor do there appear to be overt signs of the construction having happened (say, fresh concrete, new asphalt, etc.) - but at the same time, the work required may not have needed that kind of intervention, either.
At least at Leslie, as of Friday there was no indication that an LRV had passed through there in quite some time. The rust on the running surface of the rails is quite heavy, and the grass is long enough that it will likely require a grounds crew to mow it in the near future. At least the sprinkler system seems to be working reliably.

This would explain the lack of new concrete or asphalt around the rails at the intersection.@smallspy I had heard that they chose to grind the rails at the surface intersections instead of ripping everything up. How this fares for the long term longevity of the rail itself remains to be seen.
When were these taken?
Wow for a moment I almost had a heart attack thinking they were STILL working on the station boxes now...well that explains the lack of progress....
if youre asking whether the crosstown uses standard gauge vs wide gauge like the streetcar does the answer is standard gauge. The flexity freedom seen on the waterloo lrt and also seen on finch west use standard gaugeOut of curiosity, does anyone know what kind of track surface profile the Crosstown and Finch LRT have? Are they using a streetcar surface profile like how the TTC has for the subway tracks.
It's closer to the subway wheel profile than the streetcar profile, but it doesn't seem to be quite the same.Out of curiosity, does anyone know what kind of track surface profile the Crosstown and Finch LRT have? Are they using a streetcar surface profile like how the TTC has for the subway tracks.
