Look like crane parts to me. I think I read that a crane was being installed soon too.

Captured where both bridges will go, but can anyone trace the elevated portions between the two bridges on my picture? I can't visualize it.
Is this it?
Obviously it can't make right angle turns like that, so here's a the full shot if someone else wants to try and trace it.

Ah interesting. So the big dirt patch in the circled area doesn't have anything to do with it?
Also is the roadwork going on Overlea right now part of it? The road is all torn up.

That whole area to the left of the red line route is the OMSF. all the way to the rail line

That's for storage tracks for the Maintenance and Storage Facility, etc.
From https://www.metrolinx.com/en/projec...ere-building/thorncliffe-park-station-and-msf
Much of it. Though the commercial area behind the station, and then southwest towards Millwood survives. Which will presumably become massively intensified over the years as a TOD.

That bend by the costo and then Don mills again is pretty extreme for a train. It’s gonna be super slow moving and hopefully doesn’t derail like the streetcars do at Chruch and King

Argh, people love to throw out acronyms that make my brain go blank.
OMSF = Ontario Municipal Storage Facility, which the Metrolinx website says should properly be used to refer to a different site in Mississauga.
Google also returns: OMFS = Oral and MaxilloFacial Surgery, a department in U of T's dentistry programme.
You're welcome.
Anyway, I presumed the OMSF site is where the line was to go, I'm surprised it's actually going in front of the Salvation Army office building. I would have thought, and the very least, the line might go under it. If the line were to go behind that building, it would need to squeeze between it and the big hydro electric station, which I'm sure would be off limits to a transit project, even for tunnelling under it.
But that's why I'm here, to learn stuff.
