Always love the aerial. Something I wonder about though. So the track goes underground in the Distillery, would that be cut and cover? I’m thinking back to (I think it was) the borer used for Crosstown and the whole production it took to get it into the ground. They wouldn’t get a borer in and turn it south for a couple hundred metres right?

Our understanding that EVERYTHING underground on the Ontario Line route will be done via Boring machines between the 2 x Tunnel Portals on the Map.

Totally agree that it is a very "snakey" / bendy route for using Tunnel-Boring Machines, which is adding to the huge expense of the ONTARIO LINE project, but it was determined to be cheaper (and easier) that trying to TUNNEL under the DON RIVER.

TBM launches northbound from Corktown, disassembled at Queen station. Sequential excavation (probably roadheader) south to Don portal.

It isn't snakey and bendy because of the tunnelling cost under the Don; it is snakey and bendy because it was intended to relief Union Station at Exhibition and East Harbour.
