What is the reason for the delays on Caroline? I assume it's not soil contamination or we would have heard something about it by now.

I notice a lot of those rubber rail crossing in the Chicagoland area and they have a pretty similar climate to us. Maybe the rubber just hasn't caught on with the rail people here yet? I know they use a lot of salt in the midwest and it gets almost as cold or colder in parts too.

In Europe I saw rubber crossings abutting the rail on both sides. So when you cycle there is no slot in which your wheel may get trapped. Rail cars are so massively heavy that they just compress the rubber down and out of the way when going through.

They have been installed in Cambridge and Mississauga. There used to be one on Eagle Street but a derailment sliced it up so CP took it out.
