Some recent photos from Bombardier's Millhaven facility.
Welcome to Bombardier Kingston!
The main hall has been recently expanded; on the back, here, with 8 bays for FLEXITY Freedom production. Trains no. 2 through 14 for ION will be built, here.
Resting out on the main test loop, an INNOVIA Metro 300 train. This is the third-generation of contactless Linear Induction Motor (LIM) propelled systems - the bread and butter of what this facility was built for. They've recently finished off an order for Kuala Lumpur and Vancouver for these sleek, fully-automated vehicles.
The main LIM test track, with some new Catenary in the background for FLEXITY.
The control tower oversees operations for the LIM test track.
