Squeal! Track going in on Northfield!!
This is what it looked like on Saturday:

They've started working on the box that carries the creek through uptown (wasn't this the cause of substantial delay on Caroline - hopefully it isn't as problematic and they learned and can apply some lessons):
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
From this article: Region, city to move ahead with planned road work in uptown Waterloo
Quote:The region said Wednesday that a large part of LRT work will be done by November despite delays caused by the discovery of corduroy roads on King Street. That's surprisingly good news for Uptown. I hope that's what happens. As for the rest of the article, that's for a different thread

Yesterday they installed curbs on King in front of the Kaufam Lofts.
This morning, a backhoe was tearing them up. ....

Speaking of mistakes the oiler on Charles and Ontario still looks like it's in the wrong place.

LOTS of work on Charles this morning - concrete was poured west from Benton, and the final track welds were finished between Queen and Ontario. Queen might be fully open by early next week.

A while back, somebody posted this historic photo looking down King Street, from somewhere between Allen and Union, toward Kitchener:
For fun, I'd been waiting until tracks were installed here, so its as at about the same stage...

The future Cedar stop, on Charles. Just beyond here, there's still one big section without track (~100 m), and another shorter one, just in front of Cameron Heights. Once those are in, that's it for track installation on Charles. The station at Borden & Charles, right by the Tim Hortons. Track on the Northbound side is embedded up to the platform; Southbound side still needs a pour. Looking West on Ottawa, from near City Cafe. Looking West on Ottawa, from just past Courtland. Mill/Ottawa intersection. Lots of work has already gone on here, but lots still to do.

Ottawa/Mill area, looking over toward where the Southbound track will be coming from, off Borden. Still nothing really going on here. I'm anxious to see how the track will slope here, down toward Borden. Looking back up Ottawa. Close-up of an attachment point on an OCS/Catpole on Borden. A little while ago, someone had commented that they thought these were rusting already. I didn't see any rust on any of them, but they're plated with a colour that might have been confused with rust, I suppose. The platform edge at the Willis Way stop on Caroline has been fixed up for a while now, but I hadn't gotten around to taking a shot of it. There you go - all fixed up. Wednesday, June 29 In just a few days, almost all of the main switches to the yard track have gone in at the OMSF. I can't keep up. |
