Tony, I think you are confused about Morant's location for most of his famous photos at Stoney Creek. He was diagonally across from where you are, on the other side of the bridge and the creek up on the bank above the track. In any case, great work and you should get a medal for hiking in. Guess you didn’t look too appetizing to the bears!

I'm surprised there have been no comments about the BO knuckle on the end cut of cars at 09:00. Would that be because a FRED could not be attached to the knuckle? Also going a slow speed because of no FRED?

You are 100% correct the broken or damaged knuckle and drawbar would not allow the Fred to be attached and the speed restriction was due to that

This line of the LRT here in Edmonton is a class in massive clusterfing by the city’s council. Over priced trains with expensive not attainable parts, concrete pillars that were not built safely that had to be repaired only months after install, a new untested electronic system that fails and causes delays or stops the trains, and doesn’t integrate well into the other 2-3 dissimilar systems we already have here. Waaaaaay over budget. Metro line from Churchill to Nait is a total disaster. Whoever was overlooking this should have been turfed immediately. Heads should have rolled for all the mistakes, over runs and just basic lack of common sense used here. And who gets to pay for all this, us the tax payers of Edmonton. Sure make it look like it is a marvel of engineering though lol. We should have had a working, running, extensive LrT waaaay back in the 80’s-90’s. Look at Calgary’s system. Well thought out and running for decades. Edmonton is the Capital for gods sake.🎉 Instead we have silver balls piled up on the Whitemud to look at lol

@TonyVRailfanning 21 күн бұрын
You were on a good roll till you mentioned Calgary's system. They have been plagued with issues since day one, very poor signal system and the integration of the lines into downtown are a mess and often cause trains to literally bunch up. platforms can only take up to 4 cars so not able to handle the amount of people who use it. The two systems in Edmonton were never supposed to integrate into each other and the Thales signal system, was a disaster I agree but has since been replaced. Edmonton never payed a cent during the time the Valley line was delayed all costs were held by Trans-ed and the trains have had no issues running since it opened. Astom trainsets are very good quality and were a great choice by the city.
