ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

A failure like this wouldn't bring down the system for long. They could still operate from Conestoga to Northfield using the Northfield crossover, perhaps even to R&T Park or University with some reverse running thrown in and using the Weber crossover. On the south end they could operate from Fairway to Central using the Green crossover, or perhaps even to GRH or Allen with some reverse running. In between those points there'd be shuttle buses to connect the two system segments. Embarrassing, yes, catastrophic, no.
