On Sunday, I went for a long bike ride in Toronto along the waterfront. This gave me a fantastic excuse to take my camera and go pantograph spotting!
The Bombardier FLEXITY Outlook LRV's on the 509/Harbourfront route are the first to be switched over to pantograph operations. All of the vehicles so far have been supplied with both pantographs and the traditional trolley poles. As the Outlook vehicles replace the CLRVs and ALRVs, the OCS can be upgraded, and then pantographs can be used. The 509 route is the first to undergo the switch, as of last week.
Here are some photos I took.
