ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Now, the next segment may bring me some criticism here for how I obtained these photos. I freely admit trespassing on CN property to do so, and I do not want to endorse such activity in general.

I do wish to clarify:
  • I undertook this at my own risk, knowing what I may encounter.
  • I remained off the tracks whenever possible, maintaining safe distance except when crossing over.
  • I remained vigilant at all times of any approaching trains.
  • At no point did I enter an active construction zone.
That said, this afforded me an excellent look a the new creek bridges that were constructed for both the freight line and the LRT.

Both bridges in profile.

From below. Interestingly, each bridge has a completely separate design for its span, but their footings do have cross-connecting piece as well.
