ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Had a few minutes between buses at Conestoga Mall this morning; got a look at things without all the workers in the way!

The D-shaped end box is looking excellent...

...and it will serve as a last-resort backstop should a train (God forbid) come in too fast.

The station area is gaining more buildings. There's a switching box along with the operators' rest facility...

...which you must walk around to reach the steps/ramp. Hmm.

Their rooflines also look a bit curious from platform level.

I really wanted to check out the crossover, too, but I didn't want to miss my bus. Next time, perhaps.
