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!
That is exciting. As recently as Sunday they were bagged, so this is a new development.
I cannot imagine though that testing this system will be a short process.
