Looking more at the new imagery, you can also see 1122 while it was parked just east of Tunney's last year.

On the Trillium Line you can see LINTs on either end of Carleton and also just North of Greenboro.

Somewhat off topic, but does anybody know where one would get their mitts on these?

You could try contacting OC Transpo somehow. They're usually available at OC Transpo events including doors open which is in June (assuming they have some buildings open). I would expect that there'll be some available whenever the line launches too.

Ya those would be cool to have. My kids came home from my MOL's house the other day with cardboard ambulances that we had to construct; actually pretty neat little toys.

This week's construction update:

Hmm. A parking machine right at the entrance of an LRT station. I hope that gets moved before opening day.

It's the latest innovation in park and rides, park downtown and take the train outbound

When I was a kid I got something similar from VIA Rail for their new (at the time) LRC trains: léger-rapide-confortable IIRC.

I loved those things.

They still have them. Got one at the counter for my son last time I took the train in Montreal.

I remember those. If I remember correctly, they had couplers so you could join them together.

Indeed they did.

I'm getting the sinking feeling RTG is going to blow another deadline. There seems to have been barely any progress this year, despite only small things bring left

This little nagging feeling tells me they are going to want until the end of April

They still haven't done the decals on the lanterns and today, I saw an incomplete train (missing the side and roof panels) parked just east of Cyrville.

And considering they need to do 12 days of full-service testing before handing over the line yet I barely see any trains running when I pass by the eastern part of the lines, twice a day, it's not looking good.

Even the way they delivered the new handover date; after three months of blowing the last deadline, they needed an extra day to come up with "ya sure, what the Mayor said, March 31st".

I watched the video again where the mayor said the trains would be running by March 31st, not just turned over to the city.

Yep. Just driving by Parliament and Lyon, and their entrances aren’t complete yet. What the hell is going on with this contract? Why can’t the city push RTG to just get it done?

Unless there’s some massive construction flaws that we haven’t heard about, I don’t see what the issue is in just putting on resources and getting the finishes done. I hope RTG isn’t this terrible a manger on maintenance. And I am hoping they don’t win on the Trillium Line.

A good friend of mine works on the light rail project. Privately he says that they won't be ready for a March or even April handover. Apparently something happened in the city's light rail office a few weeks or a couple of months ago that really complicated the whole handover timeline.
