Supposed to be this upcoming Sunday (weather permitting)

Some overnight track removal or what? About 5 workers on site. One is grinding away and the other banging away.

Has been confirmed by multiple sources that CP plan is to remove the diamond tracks by mid to end of June

Nice, hopefully sooner than later. I can confirm that metrolinx has already removed as as much of the diversion track as possible. What’s left is only a short span of track (few metres) each way i.e. east/west from the diamond intersection. And I anticipate this final portion will be left for CP...

I wish they made the main diamond bridge metal this same colour as this one instead of “rust brown”. This vintage green-ish colour is much more aesthetically pleasing.

Right, makes sense. The controlling and scheduling being up to CP would sound about right since they own the tracks. Either way, hopefully sooner than later. Looking forward to the switchover this weekend. The rep in person was still calling this weekends switch tentative which I thought was...

Metrolinx rep was in the adjacent condo lobbies yesterday taking questions, I asked him when will they remove the diamond intersecting tracks. He said that CP will remove it on their own schedule probably in the summer or by fall of this year. This is contrary to what I was told by two separate...
