    Toronto 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    Apparently not; The city only provides "guidance" in regards to architectural lighting, although I can definitely see that changing if more people start complaining about 'light pollution' going forward. It's only building signage that requires approval for now.

    Starting to really make its presence felt around Union

    Nice pavers, but how much longer do I have to wait before the city cuts some sexy black lines into them? 😏

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    What do the police have anything to do with it? A much closer comparable would be the TTC which gives employees 30 days not this pittance. That's all it is. It's interjecting an unnecessary layer into the process, for new hires it absolutely introduces a certain degree of coercion, even if that...

    Toronto Thorncliffe Park TOC: 26 Overlea Boulevard | 179.6m | 56s | Infrastructure ON | SvN

    Once upon a time it used to be baseball... but now public transit is the new; "Build it, and they will come."

    Toronto 11 YV | 213m | 62s | Metropia | Sweeny &Co

    Same here. There is a general lack of buildings with setbacks in the city, especially ones that have a good symmetry in their design. And while I acknowledge the complaints about the quality of the facade, from a distance she sure cuts out a nice slender profile.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Never thought I'd hear the day when someone wanted more cameras - I mean have you seen Union Station lately? Place has more surveillance than Fort Knox. Anyhow, every station has cameras Long Branch included, take a look when exiting the stairwell they're mounted to its walls. But the coverage...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Yeah, apparently at last word they feel like revising service patterns will be sufficient to prevent it from being a choke point i.e Running Stouffville trips on the northern side of the Kingston corridor between the junction and Union.

    Honestly... I'm just surprised THIS And THIS Didn't bug you either. But it probably will now! heh 😁

    Toronto Pinnacle Lakeside (Phase 1) | 174.86m | 54s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    So highways are only worthwhile if they're congested messes? East Gardiner is one of the only portions of any highway in the city that actually isn't over capacity i.e. functions as intended, for a majority of the time. And it's not going to cost the city a single penny to maintain anymore.

    Toronto GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Hopefully somebody asked CP about this. CN/MX/OnCorr may not like it but none of them have the final say in the matter. Answered you own question - Both head end crew members on VIA trains are LE's. An LE understands the braking capabilities of a train regardless of his postion(or at least one...

    On another note... here's something you don't see everyday in Canada - video footage of that CN/EXO train crash in Montreal from last November: Gotta admit this much, Crash National doing a bang-up job of maintaining their reputation 👍

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Sure but the GO system was definitely experiencing its own crowding problems as well. Apparently some platforms at Union were taking up 10+ minutes just to clear when unloading. Not as many as you necessarily think, booking off means losing out on stat pay. Christmas is worse for that. All...

    Good eye they do look photoshopped in there, the loco is huge but not quite to that degree. The editor probably tried to eyeball it but ended up with a case of

    Same here! And that they are 😅 Word is the crew received a restricting signal to enter the block the EXO train was stopped in. If so they actually did have permission to be in that block, but only under the provisions of restricted speed, that being "must be able to stop within one-half the...

    I know he's tied off but still man, geez 😵‍💫 Is it just me or did anyone else think that was a real tree for the longest time (only ever saw it from a distance) 😅
