ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
1/4 - Sunday, May 7, 2017

   
Frederick station takes shape. A large fence is being erected along the back wall. Also, you can see just how low the catenary has to sag here, to get under the pedestrian overpass - the clearance is very tight!

   
Here's a new bus bay platform being built at Young, on Duke St, near the Kitchener City Hall station.

   
Catenary has ben strung through the King St. Grade Separation, and the curbs are in! Paving soon, I hope?

   
Messenger wire strung along Charles, between Benton and Moore. Under Manulife is another one of these ultra-low sections. The pantograph will be almost fully collapsed onto the train through here! I wonder if special approval had to be given, with the contact wire so low?

   
Another shot of the messenger wire through here. Note how the support arms are a little different.
