ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
1/2 - Monday, February 27, 2017

Here are a couple of the photos that I took during the LRV unloading process.

   
Here, the Trackmobile is pulling the ramp out of the South part of the OMSF.

   
These guys got the best job - pushing the ramp into place. Reminded me of the folks who carry in the Olympic Flag at the opening ceremonies.

   
Trackmobile pushing a flatcar up the ramp, with a Scharfenberg coupler adapter on the front.

   
Contact!

   
Bombardier team checking out the gear under the hood. The big green blob in the middle is the traction motor, the thing on the right with the two circles is a right-angle gearbox. The same setup is on the other side, just rotated 180 degrees. The disc on the left is for the friction brakes. You can see the torque arm for the gearbox/motor at the top, too.
