ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
On my way back from lunch last Friday I overheard on the radio that there was testing going on at the Cameron crossover and that training runs were looping between Fairway and Mill as a result. I stopped at Cameron to observe, they had the plastic bags off the signal heads and a tech in the signal house near Market station. An LRV was on the northbound track shuffling back and forth between Cameron and Kitchener Market, and at one point I saw the crossover signals change from red to green and back as the LRV approached. I couldn't hang around to see how it ended but as I walked back to my car I saw that the switch points had moved without anyone having done so manually, so that was a good sign. When I drove by Saturday the signals were bagged again, but at least it seems that they're finally working on them. So far they've either been bagged or perpetually red with LRVs radio'ing for permission to proceed after stopping. Can't wait to see them up and running properly soon!
