I think i know how the new Toronto Rocket will sound like when it arrives and departs the station.....it will sound like the Bucharest's Bombardier Movia!!!!
When the TR arrive's or depart's a station it will sound like a H-6 sound then it will go to a Movia sound then to a little bit of a T-1 sound then back to Movia sound again then to a H series like brake hold/release noise when arriving and departing.
This is what the TR's are gonna sound like:

compare to this TR test train
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD33CuDwC3w
sounds exactly like they're Movia when starting slowly!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!
Also our TR's and Bucharest's Movia both use the same Bogie Flexx Metro 2000.

Hm. Since they always talk about trying to cut loading times at Bloor-Yonge, I wonder if they ever looked at adding more doors per car by having punch out doors or doors that slide over the windows...

While this appears to have been lost over the years, "Heavy Rail" is just that, heavy rail that is the same weight as rail used on railroads, where "Light Rail" uses rail with a lower pound/yard number.

My photos and video from Davisville at 4:45xm Wednesday night: http://www.davidvincent.ca/express.html#Wednesday,%20November%2010,%202010 (yes, it was "xm" for me because I had been up since 6:30am Wednesday morning!)

The reason for heavier rail being used is that the rolling stock expected to use the rail exerts more force on the rail due to weight and speed. Light rail vehicles are assumed to be either lighter or slower or a combination of both.

Heavy Rail can support this:
Light Rail would probably buckle under that weight.
The entire Heavy Rail vs. Light Rail debate for transit systems is a red herring. Unless you plan on stacking people 3 high in crush capacity, it doesn't matter whether you are "heavy" or "light". Most systems with Heavy Rail subways are simply that because there was no such thing as Light Rail when they were built. Light Rail uses softer (thus cheaper) metals that are more than adequate for moving passengers.
I, too, was shocked when I first saw Edmonton's "Light" rail system.

Hmm, I remember walking past some high school kid with a camera walking the length of Davisville's platform and filming the parked TR train around 4:30 PM last Friday. This walkthrough in your video looks oddly similar.
Oh I should also mention, if this rings a bell... about 5 to 10 minutes later an operator parked a T1 set on the third rail.

Too bad our new trains don't look as good as those. It seems that we could learn something from their stations, like the fact that natural stone is a great cladding material. Do these things matter? Well, the way a large city fashions itself goes a long way towards how its residents feel about it and the identity it forms internationally.

I've been noticing a ton more of the H-series trains on the YUS line...are they moving them there so they can junk 'em when the TRs arrive?

Vancouver rebuilt the Downtown Historic Railway to mainline rail standards - Over engineered, and costly.

There have been no reallocations of subway equipment. Any seemingly increased presence of the H5s on the YUS is purely coincidental on your part.
Those coincidences happen to me a lot too. It seems like every 3rd or 4th subway ride I take on B-D I get one of the two remaining H3s (I think it's H3, the only ones that still have the orange benches in them). The odds of that happening are pretty low, but it seems to happen to be quite a bit.
