That's TJ Flynn, and he's been with the project since Day 1, so I'm happy to hear him as the narrator.  The only other person I think who could or should have done it would be Tom, or maybe have Darshpreet come back.

I didn't realize he is involved with ION, but I guess that's why he moved to the region. I met him through swimming (he's a multisport athlete) but didn't get to know him too well as I stopped swimming shortly after. Seemed really friendly, though.

Watched 510 go up Frederick a bit earlier. Interesting how much the pantograph squashes to fit under the bridge there.

The trailer for "Growing Up" is getting lots of media attention; on my drive home today I heard 570 talk about it at least 3 times, complete with little clips and so on, talking about it very positively.

508 was out today. Wonder if its FIE is installed?

508 passed me this morning walking into the office. I tried to peer into the cabs as it was passing to see if I could see the hole but it was going fast enough that I didn't get a clear view. If forced to guess, it didn't look like the big gaping hole was there but I wouldn't put money on it.

If it helps, the original as-shipped configuration had a touch panel HMI on the left and centre consoles, and a hole to the right. The new, final configuration moves the centre HMI to the right console, and the in-cab signaling system and radio, which was Free-Issued, is installed in the centre console.

That does help, I was looking specifically for the hole in the right side of the consoles. So my already mostly unhelpful observation becomes completely irrelevant. Big Grin

Thank you for checking! I would think it must have it installed, other wise the promise of all being done by the end of the year will not be met.

That promise has already not been met. The launch date has been pushed to "Spring 2019".
