A bit of a closer shot of the new glass cladding going up, as seen from the GO train:

Perhaps it's been asked before but curious as to why those particular columns are slanted? Seems logical to have them straight like the others.
Appreciate any insight! Thanks

Look back about 2 pages.

Those columns are designed to be like that. A couple floors below, the corresponding columns are slightly further in towards the core. They are angled like that so they can meet the columns which are further out a couple of floors above.

Here I posted it as he got number of pages back wrong. I was curious as well.

More rail park support trusses arriving.

I feel bad for those truck drivers trying to navigate the mess that is Queen's Quay but in any case, great catch!

A giant steel truss appeared overnight. It's resting on yellow temporary piers at the moment. It's at track level with both Crane#3 and Crane#4 blocking my best view.

^what I see from the other side of the tracks...

Where do these trusses go?

 

[heatscore]

With the absence of vertical supports over the track, maybe they could be installing them diagonally from the concrete wall to the existing deck?

I believe you're correct. If you look a few posts back you can see the easternmost beam has quite a cantilever to it so they are likely setting it up to be free of any more trusses.
