ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(08-23-2015, 04:22 PM)Canard Wrote: Sheet 21 from the Region's Functional Design Plans seem to suggest that the single existing freight track will be relocated, and the single Southbound LRT track will run parallel with it, until the Mill/Ottawa intersection.  If that's the case, it's very likely that the Southbound LRT track will simply very gradually change elevation until it's flush with the existing freight line.

And indeed drawing C-PR-034 shows the track rising on a 1.55% grade from approximately elevation 321 to a peak of almost 326, or a 5m rise. The northbound profiles are all included on the plan drawings, but the southbound profiles are on a separate set of drawings.
