Wow, really? Is that how time zones and the internet works? Thanks for sharing. (btw, before you get more confused, I'm being sarcastic here). Not sure what you mean by ESDT. EST is eastern standard time (generally winter time, no daylight savings); EDT is eastern daylight time (rest of the...

But April Fool's Day ends at noon on April 1st; if you pull a prank after that the joke's on you! ;)

I'm curious: what is the rectangular glass box structure to the left of the main entrance in the photo above? A large skylight?

Here are some (crappy phone) photos I took a few hours ago at Eglinton Station. First shows the mezzanine where Urban Chairman's pics were, but further back so you get the perspective of the existing north stairs going down to the platform (at the left of photo). Next shows subway platform...

I couldn't have said it better myself eglinton1661 Here's page 18 of the TTC interchange pdf report that was linked above: (It shows the cross-section view looking west)

Firstly, thanks to Urban Chairman for the photos. We still haven't heard Urban Chairman's response to tnarduzzi's question above confirming that this is at PLATFORM level. Let me throw something into the mix in the meantime. Perhaps these photos are not of (the north end of) the subway...

The two arrows that are to the right of "EASTBOUND" in that photo could flash. So the one that was flashing meant that platform's train would be leaving next. That photo just happened to catch the arrow in the "on" phase of its flash. Presumably it was the arrow pointing to the right that was...

Yes, and don't forget when the Astrodome in Houston first opened, it had a natural grass field. The roof was Lucite and it let in enough sunlight to keep the grass alive and well. Problem was: You guessed it! Fielders couldn't track the flyballs in the light. So after experimenting with...

Just curious: At which underground stations are TPSSs 1-8 located?

... They've now ripped up the (previously installed) track between west Don Mills portal and Sunnybrook Park stop. It looks like it does in the above photos. If they have to pull up the track and the all the anchor plates in order to install rubber around the rails why didn't they do this...

Great maps; terrific job! One thing: Birchmount stop is missing on Line 5.

I wonder if they have done/will do the same on the Avenue and Laird underground storage track turnouts.

Yes I've heard that as well many different times, however... there is this response to a question on the metrolinxengage.com website: Will trains stop at every surface stop, or as request-stop only? Josh Nov 16, 2020 - 11:15 Additionally, will "stops" be considered real stations according to...

Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown LRV passing through (or over) Sunnybrook Park stop (east of Leslie and Eglinton) I lucked out as well yesterday (thanks to your tips re: timing) and caught #6256 as well. I couldn't see the number myself, but based on your above post I now know it was #6256. I...

Great, thank you!

That's very helpful; thanks very much! We'll see what luck I have. :)

So they take the CN Kingston sub to where? (in order to get to Lambton and transfer to CP?) I'm interested in the rail subs they take on their journey from Millhaven to Toronto to Thunder Bay and then finally back to the EMSF. Thanks for all your informative responses.

Great photos! Is there somewhere on-line where you track CP freight trains in real time? I would love to get a pic similar to yours above but at the bridge over Eglinton just east of Leslie. On a sunny day, looking from Leslie St. to the bridge (the sun would be behind camera in the aft.) I...

Much appreciated and very informative. Thanks for the quick reply! You mentioned the Crosstown LRT. So the transit signals there will be like they are on St. Clair and Spadina? Is this just for the in-median guideway portion at intersections east of Brentcliffe portal? I've noticed that...

Some questions about the transit signals on the St. Clair and Spadina streetcar rights-of-way: 1- Every intersection I've seen have two (seemingly identical) columns of signals right beside each other. I assume this is to provide redundancy (like the automobile traffic lights) in case of the...
