ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(06-17-2019, 11:20 PM)Square Wrote: Not sure, just it has blocked the freight train from doing it's northbound movement.  Could be in the Waterloo Square North parking lot?, someone past the gate went through after?  They mentioned it's still being investigated, so anyone in the area can check it out.

That explains why the freight train was holding south of William/Willow. I just got back from popping over to WTS to see what was happening. When I got there a few minutes ago, there were no LRVs around and the switch connecting to the freight track was lined for freight. A flatbed was on Caroline northbound just south of Erb, with one car, front corner smashed in, on the flatbed, and another, rear corner smashed in, hooked up for towing. WRPS, Keolis, and I think GRT were still on scene. I headed back and just for fun went past the freight train. Shortly after I turned around, the signal turned from red to yellow and after a few moments the train moved on.

So I’m wondering if possibly this was a car-on-car collision only? Is it definitely known to have also involved an LRV? I’m thinking that depending on exactly where a car-car collision occurred the rail authorities would be involved, if only to know that the collision investigation is occupying the intersection and keep rail traffic out until it is done.
