ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

This is true at both Frederick station and Kitchener CIty Hall, for the record.

Okay, despite looking this over when I took the pictures I'm just realizing something - I'm not sure welds are intended here. These rails appear to be bolted at these spots.

I didn't catch on at first because the rubber is wrapped around them, but if you look closer you can see bolt plates.
