ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Yesterday, Cincinnati opened their downtown tram line which runs CAF Urbos3 hardware (same as Kansas City).  These are great vehicles - very well built.

While I'm not fond of the last-minute sell-out to Cincinnati Bell for naming rights (and the hideous wraps), everything else this line did was right - on-time and under-budget.

Here's a great collection of images from yesterday.

(Why I'm posting this here: 1. Let's hope for no last-minute sponsorship deals that will make our trains ugly, and 2. Really hoping for a nice big opening ceremony here as well.)
