ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
   
Here's a shot of the Northfield platform, with the OMSF in the distance.

   
In the foreground, a crossover to permit LRV's on the Southbound track to cut over momentarily to the Northbound track, to get into the OMSF. The switch further way, and the track on the right is for the freight line which continues North to Elmira.  It's interesting to note here that the switches for freight are of the movable frog type, while the switches that will only be used by ion's trains are much more basic/lightweight.

   
LRV's will cut off of the Northbound track here into the OMSF.

   

   
A close up of the track switch heading into the OMSF - non-movable frog type.
