A couple of notes from today;
- Chain link fence has gone up on Hayward, between the sidewalk and the tracks. I think this is a requirement here because Transport Canada says its a "railway" and not Light Rail, because of the ballasted tracks and so on (and ATC, I suppose). Very unfortunate, as it's hideous and makes me want to die.
- Fences are coming to Block Line, too - the posts are all up at the North side of the station.
- The little orange light was blinking at Borden station today, on the OCS pole! Does that mean the power is on? It was blinking on for about 0.1 second, off for about 0.6-0.7 seconds (ie, a littel faster than 1 Hz, maybe 1.4 Hz or so).
By fences at Block Line, do you mean near the Block Line station?
Also Hayward is weird — although they put in fences, last time I drove by (yesterday), I thought I saw that the parking lot entrances still have no crossing arms. So fences are “needed”, but not any sort of crossing protection? How does that make sense? Especially since just up the road at the intersection with Courtland there are crossing arms on the pedestrian crossing, the same one that connects to the sidewalk that is separated from the tracks by a fence.
Interesting news about the blinking light. I’ll have to take a look for similar lights up here in Waterloo.
