Are those cylindrical tunnels where the tracks will be laid (the existing Mont Royal Tunnels to Bonaventure station)? Looks pretty cool from this angle.

Yes, where the old tracks were.

Beautiful shot of fall weather and the ongoing work on the southbound viaduct between the future Griffintown-Bernard-Landry and Gare Centrale stations (plus a nice shot of VIA corridor service):

Sort of gives you an idea of how the Ontario Line will look alongside the GO tracks.

With the current subway platforms, they tend to be almost always straight. Would the platforms for the Ontario Line be all straight or will they allow for curved platforms?

Early renderings of East Harbour (without OL) suggested curved platforms. Besides that, considering Metrolinx is seriously considering PSDs on the line, its highly unlikely they'd get curved platforms that would make it significantly more difficult to put those in.

It seems the (GO) platform is still curved at East Harbor based on the admittedly unclear maps Metrolinx has shared so far.
I am worried they would do an UP Express and have some stations without PSDs to save station capital costs.

It would be cool if they could share catenary supports for the pantographs with GO RER. Probably different voltages etc for the actual lines but the supports can be the same structure. Might save space and look cleaner.

Du Quartier station looks almost finished, with platform screen doors already installed and catenaries up and ready.

I don't recall hearing any mention of Eglinton until about 2006 or 2007. AMT was discussing the LRT from Central to the 30 back in 2002 publicly.
