ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[ijmorlan]

Thanks to Canard for pointing out on Twitter that there is already a #wrlrt hashtag for ION-related stuff. What’s this #myionthetrain? Awkward, and totally redundant. It kind of undoes an organization’s social media strategy to show themselves to be so unaware of what is already happening. It’s hard to be cool when you don’t know where the cool kids are!

A train is currently downtown, on Charles headed south past Gaukel.

Queen St station!

   

Yes, I'm shooting from the back, but it was a better (and safer) shot than the front ...

[Canard]

Awesome to see, everyone!

I was standing next to it while it was moving (on the sidewalk, safely, and legally), and it was impressive how smooth and incredibly quiet it is!! not a single squeak! such a cool system

My goodness, I was less than a block away! Ugh, I will see it one day!

Ironically, I walked past the terminal shortly after it went past, and there was a delivery vehicle parked off the tracks for a change. I've seen one on the tracks a number of times, this is the first time it wasn't.

OK, I partially retract my assessment of #myionthetrain. I didn’t notice the pun before. I have to admit that’s fairly clever. But #wrlrt is still well-established and I think the better choice.

Aaah, I hadn't realized it would be returning on the northbound track! I'd have followed it for longer in that case...

Well, tomorrow is another day.

Nothing wrong with using both!

Sorry for cutting through your shot, bgb_ca! I did ring my bell though (unlike mr. neon flash zippy mczippypants behind me )

At least you didn't crash into me or block my view much
