Ya love to see it! 🥰 #FLEXITY

Uh - did we just lose Weekend GO Train service in Kitchener?!

Let's switch tracks here for a bit - since I've been showing you some of the trains I've seen recently in the US, allow me to show you something else also built in North America, however, these are from Canada! 🇨🇦 👀 📸 @brunoxing.bsky.social

It blows my mind anyone wants our population to increase. If anything, I wish things were like 50% less crowded at a bare *minimum*. You can’t go anywhere now without it just being so jammed and busy and loud and I hate it I feel like Canada should have a population around 15-20M max

if the mta sold F/M swap merch they'd be funded for the next decade

Hidden away quietly in this document; 6 years later, we’ll finally see the temporary speed restrictions at Traynor removed, allowing full 70 km/h ops (currently 20 km/h) on the hydro corridor #wrLRT

In the Region of Waterloo, a Bombardier FLEXITY Freedom LRV glides into Grand River Hospital station. Note how it cruises smoothly through every intersection, thanks to full Transit Signal Priority. In Waterloo, the LRT doesn’t stop for cars. #wrLRT

Transit Signal Priority on ion Light Rail, Region of Waterloo, Ontario (2019). Trains use a horizontal (stop) or vertical (go) white aspect bar, instead of red or green. The trains follow a wave and do not stop between stations. Toronto planners, please come here! #wrLRT

Finch West (Line 6) - first day of service/soft launch.

Finch West LRT (Line 6) Opening Day! 🚊🎉

Reminants of the Scarborough rt. 💔

Lovely site right across from an Eglinton Crosstown station

Eglinton Crosstown, stuck in traffic

Eglinton Crosstown testing, Friday, November 28

Eglinton Crosstown was supposed to be testing today. I walked the whole above-ground portion but didn’t see any action, except for a crew *pouring concrete* at one of the stations.

Loving the REM

Montreal’s Light Automated Metro, the REM

This thing is such a absolute garbage

Bombardier FLEXITY Freedom 508 glides past the Perimeter Institute, into Waterloo Park. #wrLRT

I couldn’t imagine all winter how this would feel. After 6 rides, I still can’t figure it out 😅 #AlpenFury

#AlpenFury doesn’t have a bad angle. 🔥

Rivaling the Mosasaurus Roll on Velocicoaster, AlpenFury’s Fire Serpent Roll, two back-to-back inclined and declined heartline rolls succeed perfectly in trying to convince you that your body is coming apart, and it’s glorious. 🥰

AlpenFury Premier Rides, 2025 Canada’s Wonderland 🇨🇦

🥰 Cc: @cursedsupports.bsky.social

Mixed feelings on seeing the *entire* single rider queue at AlpenFury filled with groups. They knew what they were getting into (I hope), but when I visit the park alone, that little perk of being able to lap rides vanishes. Main queue: ~110 minutes Singles: ~90 minutes 🫠

West Edmonton Mall 🤩

Nice over-centre mechanism here for lifting the side plates of the movable station floor into place on AlpenFury.

Looks like Canada's Wonderland heard us.

AlpenFury was my 538th coaster, and absolutely blew away my expectations, which were very, very high. Wonderland may not have any idea what they have done, but they and Premier have created one of the best roller coasters in the entire world. 10/10.

Absolutely wild Ontario Line is going with OCS

Absolutely heartbroken. 💔 amusementtoday.com/2025/06/cana...

Which will open first? The Eglinton Crosstown, or Alpen Fury? 🤔

[OC] Callum Offices, Canberra r/brutalism

Clearly the correct solution here is to rip out the useless, ugly, 1900s ass, bad for ops, “heritage” trainshed; replace it and electrify with OCS. The fact that “municipal heritage” overrides the most important infrastructure project in the country is a MASSIVE indictment of our planning process.

How are fellow Canadian coaster enthusiasts dealing with the thought of traveling to the US this summer? Cancelling plans/doing Europe instead?

London BRT!

Welcome to Banana Kingdom. 🍌

London has just the absolute best bike trails.

There is no better time to remind everyone that #CanadaIsMetric 🇨🇦

DFW was absolutely ruthless when they tore out the Vought Airtrans APM system. Ooooff

Absolutely love my Chevy Bolt ⚡️

AlpenFury’s trains look amazing!

Conestoga Mall is giving AlpenFury

The residential property along Stanley Avenue that strangley protruded into MarineLand’s complex, seems to have been absorbed by the park. The berm is being extended through it. (1st image, 2020 GIS; 2nd image 2023; 3rd image, 2025)

@facesinthings.bsky.social Cavotec MoorMaster ship handling in the Welland Canal 👁️ 👁️ 👃 👄

Cavotec MoorMaster ship handling automation in the Welland Canal. This system uses vacuum for ship attachment, hydraulic actuators for heave control, and electric lifts to guide ships through the locks.

I was waiting to post about this one till it went vertical

Hate literally everyone who says “you can’t road trip in a Bolt” like literally fuck off
