First train delivered to the Moodie Yards along O-Train Stage 2 West. Could be another year (more or less) before the the tracks are connected with the existing O-Train Line 1, so this will allow them to start testing well before that happens.

I don't think the Govt is solely to blame here. The whole project has been a mis managed mess at all levels.

Between the shit shows in Ottawa and Calgary maybe it's a good thing Winnipeg is too poor for an LRT lol. Seem to be nothing but trouble lately.

Progress along Ottawa's Line 2. This was part of the pilot O-Train project that opened in 2001. In 2020, it shut down for what was supposed to be two years for upgrades and expansion. Four years in, it still hasn't opened, but we've been told it should happen this year.

Jennifer Keesmat had a post on IG today that the Finch West lrt is basically ready to open soon. Now everyone is speculating when that could be as it is desperately needed!

Instead of posting about a new system, this video is from 1985 and the start of Skytrain in Vancouver.

The original route of Skytrain followed a long abandoned interurban rail route. It has subsequently expanded and additional lines have been added.

The induction motor technology was quite new. Toronto used that technology for a number of year.

The fully automated system quite innovative in its day.

I absolutely love this era for videos (reminds me of elementary school ones on those portable/topheavy VHS+TV carts).

If you like that one, you will probably like this one.

Seeing people wear that clothing, the buses and cars of the time, make you feel old. Quite weird. Downtown skyline is remarkably different.
