ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(02-22-2019, 02:53 PM)Canard Wrote: Well this is fun!  Was out for lunch today and we saw 513 right behind 502 (like RIGHT behind) coming down King St. toward Central Station.  About 15 people were onboard 502, and 513 was filled with sandbags!

A little bit later, we saw them again, chasing each other NB... and I had to wonder if maybe they're testing the ATC system under fully-loaded conditions (ie, have 513 encroach on 502's moving block and see if it stops automatically)?

It's quite possible that's what it was for. SigTest has been doing a bunch of stuff lately with the LRVs (coupled and uncoupled) so I wouldn't be surprised.

Wonder where it came from, and who's here for show-and-tell?

Haven't had the radio on at all so maybe all the answers are there, heh...

Could have shuttled in some higher-ups from Keolis for a tour/meetup.
