Wonder why they're lowering what looks to be a crane piece into the tunnel.......

Will any be donated?

3026-27 went to Halton.

As far as I know the plan is to harvest one of parts and scrap it and keep the other.

2 to Halton Museum
1 to the Zoo
Rest to Detroit to be refurbished and used

Since they wouldn't run anymore, there shouldn't be as much of a need to harvest every spare part, no?

Halton has a tendency to make their display pieces operational.

This happened with the Gloucester car.

That may prove a little more difficult with the SRT cars - unless HCRR intends to construct a LIM propulsion roadbed. But certainly they could be powered up and made occupiable. Or towed somehow (Large Witts certainly pulled trailers LOL).

Never say never.

Better to have the parts and not need them, than to need them and not have them.

Especially when it comes to cosmetic parts. PCC 4000 is kept under lock and key because they're afraid a vandal would steal parts from it there was free access given to it.

So I know we have elevations and site plans of the stations for this extension - why no renders?

 

[dowlingm]

perhaps Halton may also be able to obtain some bits and pieces from Vancouver’s Mark Is as they are retired, rather than rely solely on what the TTC was able to part with?

Another intervention headwall to be constructed, about 1km south of the 401. Hopefully the TBM can reach it on its own.
