ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

You're very welcome! Fun and easy to do.

As excited as I'll be to get some footage onboard, I'm far more excited about getting to see our first train arrive. It's so close! TTC's 4429 is getting ready to leave Thunder Bay, so the next load that comes down might be ours. Although I imagine the next one will be 4430, since Bombardier is under huge pressure from Toronto to get 30 LRV's in one year. If ours slips to January, no one will really notice (except us! Big Grin).

Just remember that this has both benefits and (often tragic) drawbacks.
