King St in Downtown Waterloo opens Nov 30. Doing a mass concrete pour for the sidewalks on Sat. One block north of the RR tracks to be pave today or tomorrow. Traffic lights being install.
Love the setup for the photo taking with kids in the safety gear. The kids I saw, thought it was get to get dress up and have their photo taken in it. Even some of the parents enjoy doing it as well.
I was told they are supposed to build a ramp on the north side of Northfield to off load the cars.
The overhead is setup for high loads in the rail corridor and this includes an LRV on a flat. When the new cars start to show up, it will be on an 89' flat with a 60' flat at each end, since the LRV car over hanging the couplers and protection of the car.
If the timetable to open Hayward in early Dec is to be met, they need a major push to get the tracks in place and pour ASP. The road is pave with sidewalk being pour. It was supposed to open months ago.
I see the fence in the ROW near the Fairview Mall has been cut in a number of location like I said would happen so people can do some shopping or getting something to eat. Need a few crossing in this area like the University area.
As for the rubber on the rail in the yard, its for protection, since the rail will be encase in asphalt. The yard can be expanded at a future date when more cars are added to the system.
Some videos I shot of the open house.
