Thanks JU For getting “The rest of the Story” about no train testing. . About the rubber. Is this the rubber placed underneath the tracks themselves to cushion them for less noise and a smooth ride? I saw it being placed all the way from Ionview to Vic Park and wherever tracks were being laid.

One thing that slowed the progress of other construction was new tunneling for Massey Creek.This is at Rosemount.Eglinton had to be dug up in sections and there were unforeseen problems. It took much longer to finish replacing all road work. Then shoring work continued for another year not...

Has anyone been watching LRT train testing anywhere along the east line from Kennedy to Leslie? Any Videos of Dynamic Testing?

I found the Soffville line handy as I was close to the Agincourt Stn. . It used to stop at Danforth Stn. I got off there so I could go east to Oshawa to get the GO 88 bus to Peterborough. Now I have to take Warden to the Subway to Main then the walk to Danforth. How about a stop at Scarborough...

The video I have is

You probably have a lot of VHS rail tapes. If you have the one “Toronto Trains and Towers”, it contains video of the station as it was about 1994. The Great Hall, Via waiting area(the lighting then looks better than the new ones that are hard on my eyes).Generally,Via area looks the same as now...

Sorry. I meant to add that I took these photos in 1979 and scanned them from my slides. Thought the north view of CN Track would interest everyone with no SRT beside it..

Kennedy 1979

How much work has been completed or ongoing under the tracks of Line1 at the Cedarvale station for the new LRT station underneath? For instance,the mining out to join the two tunnels (east and west) where the TBM’s could not go through. Is there now a raw station box of concrete forming parts of...

Union Chicken open now and was VERY busy during lunch hours.

I noticed all the trains had an additional sound to them when in automatic train control from Sheppard West to Vaughn.It sounded a bit like a pickup truck with heavy duty tires on pavement. When the trains came into or left a station it was most noticeable. Now,when the trains left Sheppard West...

I talked to one of the guys who will be doing the installation and he said they will be starting a week from this Monday.

I was looking for photos of The Three Crowns Restaurant at Warden and Sheppard before it became Red Lobster.It had great steak and Beef and a bar called Swirlers that moved over to Vic. Park when the place closed. All I could find was this matchbook photo.

None that I could see. But now that is becoming a park with the ramp removed,taggers are more likely to do so.Just like advertisers like to put their ads in places where the public can see them,taggers do the same.Best example is taggers have painted every bridge,rail control box,fence and...

Yes. Thanks for posting. I was just down there and was talking to a foreman about when the pillars are to be removed. He said THEY ARE ALL STAYING FOR ART! I can just see the graffiti and taggers waiting with their paint cans when the park opens. I thought a park was for all greenery,not 50%...

They started installing the support columns today in the west moat for the roofing cover but had to stop after 4 were up because of rain. The arches would have been put up,as I saw them the ground.
