It's about the TTC's wiring upgrade from the legacy 'trolley pole' system to the new 'trolley + panto' system... Quote:The system was a traditional direct suspension double insulated system using 1/4” and 5/16” span wire made up with preformed end fittings, fiberglass rod insulators used for span wire insulation at poles, with AGC span wire hanger or cap and cone hangers with 12 inch HS clamp ears to hold the trolley wire, No-Bo section insulators, Type SH trolley frogs and crossover pans and a 2/0 grooved alloy 80 bronze trolley wire.

I SWEAR if they had ended up with the all-caps as shown in the concept renderings I would have been DONE

Thanks for the heads up to timc; I raced up to R&T tonight with my fastest average speed on Strava yet! The anchor walls really, in the words of Amy Schumer, "Pop!" Looking South along the Waterloo Spur. So far, this is the fastest section of the line - signed at 70 km/h just beyond here (for a very, very short stint). I literally yelled "FONTGASM" as I rode into the parking lot at Northfield Crossing and saw this. ...and that ion logo! It's perfect! So THICC On Northfield, this U-turn for emergency vehicles has popped up with those "drive-overable" bollards. I guess this is so Westbound emergency vehicles can do a U-Turn before the tracks, and use the Eastbound>Southbound ramp onto the Conestoga Parkway (just past the Mazda dealership).

Wow, did you write to them or something?
Lots of action along the line this morning!!!
It's so exciting to see all these finishing touches come together.

There's sidewalk dug up at King and Frederick (with crews actively installing... stuff) and they've cut into it at Duke and Frederick with apparently the same intention.
Also, the contact wire along Frederick is up and almost entirely secured. |
