Following along on Twitter—looking forward to the rest of your trip. I've driven from here to Ottawa and back twice and to Toronto and back three times but I've never gone further east. I'm jealous and will live vicariously through your updates. Stay safe and have fun!

Thanks Stefan. I've driven across twice, once as far as Toronto, and once as far as Saint John NB, but both trips were haul-ass, no stop, bee-line kinda trips. This trip will be a totally different beast.

Safe travels DK! Hopefully you don't run into any 'convoys' on the way that will impede your progress.

I am curious as well. Hopefully someone pops by this thread with an answer. Looking at images on Google of tram systems I do not see any this height.

Could it be because elsewhere on the line they have street lights up top?
