ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
It's a difficult time of day for this sort of thing, but if anyone really wants to spot a train find somewhere along Charles between Victoria and Ottawa between 8:20 and 8:40 on weekdays. A window seat at Cafe Pyrus is probably perfect. I see several every day on my way into work (the 11 comes up Charles), and if I sit near a window on the bridge over Charles for more than a couple of minutes (which I do almost every day when I eat lunch) it seems like I see one. I'm never prepared with a camera or anything so I rarely take pictures (I'm a bad community member!), and the ones I do are through bus windows or from awkward angles so they're never any good. It never gets boring though. I visibly turn my head as the bus and train pass each other, every day.

I see significantly fewer of them on the way home, though a couple every week. It's probably because that'saround the time we've established they all head back into the shed in North Waterloo so they're probably on the Duke street tracks if they're heading back in.
