Is it really that difficult to stop a train and let people off? How many bureaucrats does it take to plan for such an event?

Wtf, why? It's already passing through the station...

It'll be a decent looking station when it's done.

Hopefully those travelling to Niagara on the GO train will have cameras quick enough to take pictures as they fly past it.

It's probably because the tracks with platforms are not on the main line, and they may not be planning to put in the switches on the east side to make that connection by this summer. So for the time being, for trains stopping at West Harbour it's effectively a terminus.

Ironically, the next 60 days on the "West Harbour" GO site should evoke the festive frenzy recently associated with Tim Hortons Field.

Well they aren't up to 2 shifts yet. I live right by it so I'll know when that happens.

Here's what's right next to the GO station on MacNab. I suppose this is perfectly legal meanwhile the thrift store has to go.

The orange pylons make everything OK.

They're using a green box, it's ok.

Is it part of Baldev Maden's Toxic Empire?

Train level view of the West Harbour GO Station - May 16, 2015 by Sean Marshall, on Twitter

I see the graffitti vandals already tagged it.

matt602 · #**137** Posted **May 17, 2015, 12:12 AM**

I think those columns are supporting the Macnab Street bridge, which was already there before this was constructed. The graf is probably old.

From the train view, it's looking like this is gonna be a proper urban station. Kinda like Danforth GO but more modern.

I think the real rush is going to be finishing the platforms at Union Station. I went through it last night at midnight and there were workers all over it hanging ceilings and all sorts of things. It looks like a round the clock operation. It's been torn up for years with detours and it will be a real embarrassment if it's not done for Pan Am.

king10 · #**139** Posted **May 19, 2015, 7:41 PM**

I dont even rememeber what Union Station looks like not under construction.

matt602 · #**140** Posted **May 19, 2015, 8:21 PM**

As far as I've been alive there's always been some part of Union Station under construction, whether it was the VIA, GO or TTC concourse. The last decade has definitely been much more hectic though.
