ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Usually Monday – Thursday.

Quote:As for the siding, can't they temporarily use one of the many other sidings off the spur as well for the second one?

There aren’t “many sidings” unless you are referring to the LRT tracks — the siding they use is the only one between the junction and Home Hardware in St. Jacob’s, other than LRT-related tracks. However, I do wonder if they could park the whole string on the LRT track immediately outside of the OMSF. That track, however, is not built to the same standard as the freight track; I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t allowed to put non-LRT vehicles on the non-freight tracks at any time for any reason (although I will stick out my neck and claim that that chance of LRT track being damaged or even significantly worn by having a few flat cars slowly trundled onto it and parked for a few days is essentially nil).
