Ah. Well, they must have changed the track on which it is stored, because it's the first time I've seen it.

The first Northlander trainset is at the VIA Mimico yard. I couldn’t take a photo, but it looks great!

Now that they have opened the east side of the bollards (adjacent to the Union Station sign), I expect that they will now block off the west side and complete the installation of the bollards to the retaining wall. They couldn't have blocked off everything to do it all at once (though with the...

Good news, gang! They’ve installed bollards at Front and York. I think our long national nightmare of ugly concrete blocks may be coming to an end.

I think the model needs to be rotated 90 degrees so that the towers are side by side on Dundas.

So they're controlling the weather and making people gamble? I bet they're why Line 6 is so slow, too. Boys, get the pitchforks and torches.

They're just testing the Line 5 delay notification system. It's an integral part of final commissioning.

We're having the wrong AI slop debate and leaving out the obvious answer to urban transit: The foot-powered rock cars of The Flintstones would outperform low-floor LRT as an urban transit system by being radically simple, resilient, and human-scaled. With no tracks, overhead wires, signaling...

FWIW, SkyTrain service on Sundays begins at different times based on line and location. Expo Line First train (earliest segment): 7:06 am First train (entire line): 7:44 am Millennium Line First train: 7:30 am Canada Line First train (earliest segment - Downtown to the airport): 4:48 am First...

Neat! I didn't know that.

If I have understood correctly, there will be a non-market housing component to the expanded gallery that is intended for artists. This is an interesting approach and may well help unlock significant access to funds to build affordable housing that would also include future gallery space. I...

I think the very term "transit signal priority" overpromises, because it sure sounds to reasonable people like transit will get signal priority. It's not a great parallel, but at airport security, the priority line is universally understood to be designed to let eligible people get through...

There are photos circulating of a segment of rail that appears to have failed entirely (Reddit post).

...have we learned nothing from the huge improvement that occurred to James Street North when the shelter moved away from there? The part of Barton near the hospital is holding on by its fingernails and does not need the roughest homeless shelter in the city to be relocated anywhere near there...
