Not so much activity recently -- either on track or in this thread.

Appears we are only on page 789, no? 

Same...you on a Mac w/ Safari?

OMG, so Mike Farwell started a thing today and is going on about how our trains should have ads.  I can't even, I'm just livid.

I like him and his personality on the radio, but now he's doing that thing where he just ignores everyone, and only keeps re-iterating his stance.

Yeah, I agree. We're not paying over $800M to see something from Country Boy, Diamond and Diamond or Jay Fencing wrapped around those trains.

507 is in Uptown on the SB track doing on street testing

[Canard]

Heading toward GRH. They just set a cone up at Green... curiously just on the North side of the crossover.

They’re just going to go back and forth between GRH and Allen. Control is modifying the lights. Max speed 45 km/h.

Aaaaand testing!

So it is … checking into the difference, I think it's an artifact of how MyBB formats pages and counts posts: I have more pages because as a mod I also see the markers for deleted posts. Apparently there are eleven pages' worth of those!

Testing Coordinator: "507 can I hitch a ride?"
Train 507 Operator: "Only if you have fare."

This made me laugh.

Just saw it travel past me twice across Queen St, both times heading towards the Market. Didn't see it traveling the opposite direction either. Are there 2 trains out, or did it do a loop around downtown?

[Canard]

Just one. They’ve stopped at Benton and Charles for lunch!

I'm listening to the radio feed while at work doing other things, and they reported that some idiot put a lock and chain on the OCS line somewhere on Charles around the crossover, and they may need to de-energize the line and get mass electric out to remove it.

That address sounds familiar lol, that doesn't surprise me that someone would do that!

[KevinL]

Ah, that's why I saw so many maintenance vehicles around there. I was wondering why they were, if the LRV was nowhere to be seen.

[Lens]

Could someone please post the link to the radio feed again? Would love to take a listen!

Wonder if it was put there by the guy in this video of Gary's?
