ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
1/6 - Sunday, December 4, 2016

Since we're into our annual 5 months in a row of bleak, grey, depressing skies, I guess I can't wait until it gets sunny to see what's up along the line. Here's what's up along the line today:
  • OCS work is still continuing on King/Northfield
  • Trail crossing are complete along the Waterloo Spur at Albert McCormic Arena and Quiet Place
  • Tracks at the Seagram platform are getting an anticorrosion treatment installed (remove rail clips, lift rail, coat, dry, re-attach)
  • King in UpTown Waterloo is open!
  • Some of those aggressive curb starts along the central rapidway along King have been marked with cones.
  • Track lubricators at Union are hooked up, but just sitting there without an enclosure
  • King St. Grade Separation is coming along great, with some curbs and paving having been completed
  • The embedded track curve from Borden onto the Huron Spur is curing
  • Hayward is a flurry of activity (even today), with the track curve between Hayward/Courtland complete and curing, and track crews working at the interface to the Huron Spur
  • Track installation is continuing along Courtland (today)
  • Track installation & welding is occurring at Wilson (today)
  • And, since we all blinked, crossover installation is already well underway at Fairway

   
OCS installation continues at Conestoga.

   

   
Driver's facilities.

   
The trail crossing at Albert McCormic arena is now paved, and more-or-less complete.

   
I think this crew just South of here was working on the trail crossing at Quiet Place.
