. There's 3 signals between Aldershot and Burlington, though the first one is right at Aldershot so it's quickly passed and isn't even a controlled one on all tracks. So really there's just two signals before Burlington. But you don't just drop signals to red/stop, that's not how signaling...

Indeed this is a fairly complicated scenario, for starters there's two different rail authorities. There's the RTC who's job is to direct the movement of all trains on a subdivision(s), meaning their focus is not just GO trains. And there's MX Rail Operations who gives operational instructions...

A real shame they didn’t build it over the tracks... 😮‍💨 Though all kidding aside having a little podium or two extending jutting outward could have made for a neat little feature.

It's modern day steel plank over the tracks that we'll use to force bank CEO's off of should they cause another financial crisis. 😼

That part of the Guelph sub is still dispatched by RailTerm. Presumably whenever that contract ends and MX takes over the dispatching they'll switch the radio channels over.

I know, thats why I said "most lines"(I.e. Lakeshore, Kitchener, Barrie, Stouffville) but not all. In terms of timing, again the exact train schedule isn't known until after the game ends. Those extra trains exist solely for those events and to deal with the surge crowds they bring, therefore...

Yeah but I'm pretty sure anyone would be angry if they were told they had to move across the country to Edmonton if they wanted to continue their career.

They timing it purposefully like that. The trains are in there ahead of time but they wait until the game is finished before they announce the schedule for them. There's also way more service now than before on most lines so there's fewer gaps to fill in.

I actually agree with you in that I hate how western society is so completely focused on growth and expansion at all costs. I personally don't think population decline and economic stagnation(re: Japan one of the best places to live on Earth) is a bad thing. But 3 billion, a natural decline of...

Who said we're even trying to? Shanghai has a population of over 26 million, Shenzhen 17+ Toronto has less than 3. It'd be embarrassing for Shanghai and Shenzhen to only be at Toronto's level skyscraper-wise, but good for them that they actually punch their weight now. Still wouldn't want to...

So there's spandrel cladding on the two narrow sides of the tower portion of single one of three buildings in the complex and suddenly the project is a failure? Jeez what a bunch of babies some of you are. You don't get exactly what you want and you start crying like a petulant child Meanwhile...

Never though I'd see an 80 story building across the street from a row of detached houses... Smh, only in Mississauga. 😅

Yeah, that's why he said in '20 years'. If the redevelopment plans they have for Square One come to pass in their entirety you'd be hard pressed to disagree. They're planning a 37-tower mixed use development, which would be the largest single development project in Canadian history "6 times the...

To be sure there's definitely some similar elements at play, Photo credit; Gray Hershorn But it's true doppelganger(and likely inspiration) is most certainly 150 North Riverside in Chicago; Photo Credit; Nick Uliver

Wow that's really nice. A shame they didn't use that treatment on all sides, but two is still better than none.
