Get an inside look into how the GO train line was raised 30 feet along 1200 metres!
This complicated project, headed up by Western Mechanical, used engineering expertise and custom equipment to relieve congestion at the busiest rail crossing in North America.

Construction is always awesome to look specially when you people explain how you do it, if possible hopefully Toronto gets it public projects done soon, so that I don’t need to sell my kidney to travel down town. Keep up the great work you people are real hard working humble men

This was a very important project in Toronto ❤

I like the attitude. Yes, this is very difficult. Yes, it's doable.

couldnt this concept be used for expediting the repairs of the gardiner expressway?

@noneofyourbeeswax371 2 дня назад

These guys did all that in 2 months, meanwhile metrolinx is faffing about with the Eglington crosstown for going on 12 years. How pathetic.

bear in mind and im sure you are aware that the Co. that did this railwork is not run by (1) the federal gov (2) the provincial gov (3) the city of toronto....none of which are known for lightning reflexes on ANYTHING 'cepting partisan issues! that is sad.....

What’s funny is that you made this comment without taking 10 seconds to think of the difference between the two projects because you were so eager to engage in government bashing. This is being done *above grade* while the majority of the Eglinton subway is below grade. I agree that the Eglinton line is taking far too long, but you’re trying to compare apples and oranges, this section of track doesn’t even have a station, has little to deal with in terms of below grade infrastructure like power lines, sewers etc. nor does it require a third rail for power and isn’t having to deal with a pandemic in the middle of the project. They are using a novel method of situating the sections of track and it is very cool, and makes the work lightning fast but the scope of the project is completely different from Eglinton.

Putting all that hard work. Into the most out dated rail system in the modem world😂😂😂. I started taking almost 30 years ago. And still takes forever to get someone.

This is cool, but couldn’t we have just ordered one of those bridge girder erection machines from China that they use for building all their high speed rail stuff?

@raptureboi 4 часа назад

The chinese built their high speed rail network using leapfrogging. This is not new or innovative.

This is nowhere close to the busiest diamond in North America lmao. Please fact check.

@ConcretePicturesInc 12 дней назад

Thanks for your comment. We were told that fact by the railroad officals. It was (it no longer exists hence the new raised crossing) definitely one of the busiest in NA. That is an easy Google check. You tell us. Which one is the busiest? Sounds like you would know this information.

A mile west on the same CP freight line, the junction diamond was to my knowledge the most used prior to it's underpass 8ish years ago, I work right next to that intersection and trains are now every 5 to 7 mins passenger north south (GO and UP) and 2 to 3 freight per hour east west (CPKC) at peak times. I'm very positive davenport diamond was holding back GO service expansion for barrie as CP had priority.
