I think this photo shows best the articulation configuration of the train - Modules A, B and C are rigid in Roll and Pitch, and only articulate in Yaw. Same between D and E. The interface between module C and D is articulated in both Yaw and Pitch. (There is no roll axis between any of the modules - which is why the entire line is configured without superelevation/banking on any of the curves.)
Touchdown in Waterloo Region! The Bombardier crew is one of many who stops to take some well-deserved photos.
This storage box for all the various mounting equipment was flat-packed - and it cleverly hid under the LRV during the trip down from Thunder Bay.
After lunch, the Trackmobile collected the unloading ramp, and, doing what everyone does when they bring in groceries, took everything back to the OMSF in one load.
At home in the yard, at long last. See you on April 8!
