Are you actually criticizing Metrolinx for posting a safety message about a new piece of infrastructure? Metrolinx deserves criticism for some things, but I think it would be irresponsible to not mention the danger of high voltage wires in a public posting.Once energized the OCS cables are electrified and dangerous if encountered. It is never safe to go near the OCS. Please obey signage and stay away from all overhead cables.
Are Torontoians killings themselves from streetcar OCS cables downtown too often that they need to write this? ML is always out of sync with reality.
Its simply legalese to protect them from litigation.Are you actually criticizing Metrolinx for posting a safety message about a new piece of infrastructure?

Will be driving along Eglinton today on the surface level... Hopefully some lights are and signs are turned on (wishful thinking I think though)The transit geek crowd would cheer as the switch to electrify is switched on.
Besides some small signs that say Danger due to energized OCS nothing else has really changed. The everyday Joe has no idea what OCS even means. See pics. tried to make them as clear as possibleWill be driving along Eglinton today on the surface level... Hopefully some lights are and signs are turned on (wishful thinking I think though)
Of course not. It makes no sense cause those things wouldn’t need to be run at 750V DC. They won’t be connected to the same circuit either as they don’t need to cut power to all the lighting if they ever need to cut power to the OCS.The stops don't pull power from the catenary, do they? I'd have thought that was just for the vehicles
Looks like Leaside station should be done by summer or early fall
