Noticed that the Sunalta station ribs now have horizontal framing between them as well on the west end, so we'll see that start to get enclosed fairly soon.

And randomly also found the yard in the SE where all the remaining guideway segments are waiting, its just off of 36th Street south of Peigan (found it after a detour due to an accident on 52nd, CPS sent everyone going south west on Peigan)

Yup, at Con-force on 50th Ave.

They have started to install the cement ribs at the Shaganappi station as well now. I will try to stop and get some pictures.

Yeah I saw Shagnappi Station as I drove by today. The ribs looked pretty cool. And Sunalta is epic. I can't wait to ride it when it's finished.

The past and the future captured in one shot.

Noticed the other night that they had most of the girders up at the Sarcee interchange. The LRT bridge was done, and about 1/2 the girders for the bridge for 17th ave were up.

I'm sure I'll be making a Saddletowne to 69th Street run for fun sometime.

Me as well, have no real reason to use the line but I got to try it!

We should have an SSP meet the day of the opening celebration and ride the train. At the very least the transit geeks.

Hear, hear!

Long time reader but decided to register and post the pictures that I take of this line. I live a few blocks away from the future Westbrook station and love seeing the progress of this project.

Here is my crappy phone shot while the wife and I were driving in. First day that the entire thing crossed Bow Trail.
