When I was downtown earlier today, there appeared to be another train idling at a Victoria Park Station as well and a Keolis van was approaching. I didn't stick around to see what was going on given the weather.
I'm in the region this week and am not sure whether to bother taking the train home this evening or use a bus. I don't want to get stranded at any point, especially since the forecast says there will be severe snow drifts. The trains are already barely able to get up minor inclines (hello Hayward and Cortland) so I don't want to get stuck since they won't let you depart depending where you are when they can't move. I guess I'll just take the bus and hope that gets me home in a reasonable time.
I could see that being a problem as well, I almost got stuck close to Central Station.
It did appears that in many areas the plow operators dumps a lot of snow in and around track locations. Obviously not intentional, but the reality is that this is our first 'major' storm in a long, long time, I am guessing over a decade since we had something like this. It'll be a learning experience for everyone involved I am sure.
It was nice doing a bit of shopping -- being the only person in the store. I loved it.
