ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Yup. Compared to our trains, the nose cone is ugly as sin!

Confirmation came today that Bombardier is moving production of the FLEXITY Freedom order (our trains and Eglinton Crosstown) to Millhaven:

This frees up Thunder Bay to focus strictly on Toronto's FLEXITY Outlook order and not get bogged down by the Freedom build.

Frames for both will come from La Pocatiere in Quebec.

This is good news/bad news. Good because I get to drive by the whole facility/test track whenever I visit my folks. Smile Bad because it means our trains are a lot further away than 2 months. Sad
