I did indeed see concrete ties. A UT member fav.

re 4th track on LSE. I saw it too recently. Couldn't get a good pic. Maybe @kotsy can :)

Wow. That's a transmission substantial corridor. Is one reason they are doing this a worry about electromagnetic interference? I remember some concern about that during the freight bypass studies for the corridor at the Mississauga-Brampton border. cc @smallspy @crs1026

Speaking of Wice (I think it's on the Kitchener Line if memory serves), would there be any benefit to creating a structure to cover it to reduce the impacts of snow and ice? I'm almost thinking of the equilvant of the shelters used to diver rocks slides.

I can't remember what it's called, but someone here posts when it's available the GO capital works procurement chart. I can't recall when the last one was posted. Maybe @Northern Light or @crs1026 remember.

Speaking of Siemens equipment, I saw a post online that UP refused to pickup the second trainset for two weeks because of defects.

By lag screws, does he mean spike in the ties? cc @smallspy @crs1026
