YES! YES!! YES!!!!! These buildings were absolute trash before! They would have become an incredibly boring and irreparable blight on the eastern skyline, lasting for untold generations. The new designs are far more interesting; for one they no longer looks like a five year old created them...

Interesting, so the plan is to go over(not under as I assumed) the CN "only" tracks and to add an additional pier for a 4th track over the Credit. Pretty big job. That 3rd track through Brampton will go on the north side I assume?

But still just 2 west of the station? Which unfortunately means we're probably looking at about double that/8 years until actual completion when factoring in all the expected delays to come.

There should be room so long as they build it on the east end of the grounds since the crossovers of the plant start just before Carlingview drive and they wouldn't build a station right on top of crossovers. Even Mimico which is the only station located entirely within a plant doesn't have any...

Well, I'm still taller than that young'un when you measure me to the tips of my tallest hairs!! 😤

Wow it's litterally taken them almost 5 years to just come out with a rendering of the station, setting new records for the length of time needed to built a single station on this one. Notice of Commencement "The Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) commenced on November 21, 2019. Refer...

The columns here are smaller than at The One or One Yonge, so it seems they're compensating for that size difference... like men are prone to do. 😌

Nice shot, now walk the plank! 😼

My god that's one shell of a building! 😲

It's apparently based off of the information provided in that Toronto Star article(according to the citation). The Toronto Star is not exactly some random joe blow. Edit* After somehow bypassing the paywall and reading the article myself, the floor count figure The Star quotes(85) doesn't...

Don't look up I'd say! Having people standing underneth it really goes to show just how massive that transfer slab is. I think the only other building in the city that made use of one that had the height of an entire floor before was Sugar Wharf, but I feel like the floor heights are a bit...

I preffered the massing of the previous iteration.

Well would you look at that, the rails did line up afterall 🥹

What, no love at all for the 'ol Garagemahal? One can at least say; it's the monument the GTA deserves, if not the one it needs. 😏

But I love that whacky upper level... 🥺 Always thought it was the coolest thing (train design) ever, ever since I first saw it in Source code Some interesting sentiments about it; https://chicagoreader.com/best-of-chicago/the-low-pleasures-of-the-metra-trains-top-floor/

Maybe it was rear wheel driven and she engaged the 'NOS' right before the jump? 🤷‍♂️

Its due to the rest rule changes being implemented by TC later this year; Rest periods have been extended to a minimum 12 hours at home, and ten hours away from home from the previous eight hours at home, or six hours when away from home. VIA's response was to change most schedule cycles from a...

Just found out about this building in Dubai (going by the groundbreaking name "City Tower" 😒) that more or less ripped-off HP's podium design, minus the curvy glass; https://www.skyscrapercity.com/posts/187272100/ Suppose it does at least give an idea of what this tower would've looked like...

Absolutely, but it certainly doesn't help that the employees working the large yards at CP and CN are usually the most junior. Often you'll have two conductors working together who've only been on the job for a few months and this after being rushed through training. When you reduce crew sizes...

Correction; a crew member, not necessarily an engineer. Yard crews in the big freight yards don't normally have an engineer, they're typically manned by two conductors controlling the loco remotely using belt packs like this (The red flashing light on the underside of a loco indicates it's a...
