Was watching to see if it would enter service today or tomorrow, since it was moved to the yard a few hours ago, but got side track. 4531 was out in the yard also, but in the service bay now.

In the Urban Toronto Crosstown thread today a member reported just seeing a "a Crosstown LRV being unloaded at Mount Dennis facility. Looks like it came in on a yellow flatbed truck/trailer". Is that a production unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this is getting a bit tricky to track, as I've rely on the sightings of others via Twitter and what have you, but.... If everything that I'm seeing is correct, this may be unit #8.

WoodbineSecondExit Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I didn't know 4534's tracker wasn't functioning. I went to look for it today on NextBus and it wasn't reporting. It was unloaded on the 21st and on the road by the 24th (or earlier) which is a pretty quick turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttc rider Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 After arriving in Toronto exactly two weeks ago, on March 12, car 4533 was finally delivered by CP to Hillcrest this morning. The car is at the loading dock, so it will likely be offloaded tomorrow morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 It takes two weeks to go from Agincourt Yard to Hilcrest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttc rider Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 23 minutes ago, Shaun said: It takes two weeks to go from Agincourt Yard to Hilcrest? No, not normally. However, all railways have been on their knees in the past month due to bad weather. Most local deliveries have been affected. CP's yards have been packed with delayed trains, which is why there were - and still are - many cars temporarily stored in various sidings until CP can handle them. Specifically with regards to TTC deliveries, there were 4 cars (4532/3/4/5) waiting in queue at Lambton and Agincourt for about a week, while the Hillcrest siding was blocked with freight cars. It was only last Wednesday that CP managed to move some of those cars to clear access to the siding, but there still is a long line of freight cars just east of the siding that have not been processed yet. As far as TTC deliveries are concerned, the backlog is (almost) clear. 4533 was released from Thunder Bay on March 6, arrived in Toronto on March 12 and has been delivered today. 4536 was released from the factory last Thursday (March 21) and should arrive in Toronto tomorrow morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they shouldn't have abandoned some of their routes, since now they don't have enough capacity to meet their current demand. Same goes with CN.

drum118 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 4532 & 4534 out at Humber loop testing 4533 was under its own power on Queen tonight at Church as it headed to the Barns for the first time. Riders were upset with the other person on the car not in uniform and they had a right. TTC keeps telling riders to keep their feet off the seats, yet in full view of the public this other person had their feet up on the seat playing with their cell phone. Have a photo of the car, but not the person with their feet on the seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been here 6 days 4535 has been in the service bay the last few days after spend a fair amount of testing. Been here 7 day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drum118 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 When one see cars that only been in service a week spending days in the service bay, you know things aren't up to par.
