This railway history at the station is great! Is this permanent? cc @crs1026 @smallspy

From my understanding in our working with a couple of the artists/groups, these are to be rotating display spaces. No idea how long the rotation is supposed to last, however.

I assume the main front cornice?

Years late, but I'll take it..............

Now about the Great Hall lighting; and the jersey barriers out on Front St.

Before that - they need to properly repolish that terrazzo.

Jersey barriers will soon be old enough to be historically listed and therefore unmovable (until they decide to just take the facade of the jersey barrier and put up a ho-hum condo behind it).

Would be really nice to see some drone shots of this area:

Wow, that is really coming along at a good pace. The benefits of cut-and-cover and not needing to maintain traffic on top.

I like drone shots as much as anyone but not sure a drone pic will give better info than the photo you posted.

The CN Tower is right there, that’ll give a pretty cool view

I'm just really curious to see how the roof/ceiling of the truck tunnel will be lowered as they said they have planned to do. The new concourse will be built around that tunnel structure but not beneath, correct?

Same with the current hallway connecting between Scotiabank Arena and the Bay concourse in Union, will all that eventually be demolished and then re-constructed?

There is a lovely terrace on the north side of 25 York's podium that I will try to access for closer pics as my inner ears strongly dislike high-speed elevators

You can really see the contrast between the bright, airy atrium and the dark, cramped heritage shed here. If only we could have had the rest of it relocated to other stations or museums or something and had the more open atrium design cover all of the platforms

Just feels like we chose to keep a herritage feature almost no one is going to appreciate over passenger experience.
