ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[ijmorlan]

Edit: Looking at the markings, each welded piece is 560 feet and there will be 30 of them. That's 5.12 km of track just in this load.

5.12 km of rail... 2.56 km of track

1.28km of double track!

So there will be lots more rail still to come, probably at various locations along the line. I assume everybody here knows about the rail-welding operation that just finished near the former tourist train station in Waterloo? There are dozens of long strings laid parallel to the tracks there, clearly more than will be used in that immediate area. I suspect the rails for Caroline St. are included in that batch.
