Any updates on the potential new maglev monorail for the Toronto Zoo? The board was supposed to vote this week.

The vote is today! There's a thread in the Toronto Area Projects thread about it (which has been overrun with silly comments). The meeting is at 2pm!

I’ve heard of the “bamboo railway” which uses officially abandoned tracks, but I hadn’t heard of it being done on live trackage, which definitely exceeds my risk tolerance  . Although it would be pretty cool to have something like that here on the Spur Line between Waterloo Town Square and Weber St., during the day only presumably.

This is very unlikely to happen on ION, thankfully, since all of our switches are trailing-point, except for two at each terminus, which are traversed at very low speed. Minor correction: there are facing-point switches near Uptown for the freight crossover and near the OMSF. Still, the number on our system is pretty well minimal. It would be interesting to know more about how it happened — as I understand it, one of the purposes of an interlocking is to make this impossible (switch can’t be changed while a train is occupying the space near the switch, and train can’t approach the switch while it is not locked in one position or the other).

If only fictional precepts like the Rule of Cool could apply...
