CTrainDude Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 That’s not a picture of the finished product from this weekend - maybe that was from Sunday or early Monday. There’s gate arms and fences. And keep in mind, this is only a very temporary stage of the project. There's some decent photos of the finished work from this weekend in this thread from CMLC: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering recent accidents... I kind of thought they'd have some basic safety gates & rails in place? Still shaves off alot of time for pedestrians, but come stampede (or other events), how will people be kept off the tracks, or be warned of incoming trains to also avoid further accidents and fatalities? I zoomed in as much as I could, and I don't see almost any safety infrastructure in place that we see elsewhere (Sunnyside & SAIT for example). I believe that picture was still from the weekend with much of the work still to be complete, given the amount of work crews out there and given Macleod Trail is down to one lane. There are gated level crossings at the both the north (for the outbound track only) and south (to cross both tracks). There are ample audible and visual warnings at both crossings. The goal with the level crossings were to make them as barrier free and accessible as possible. Pulling into Stampede outbound is 70kmh so it feels like pulling into Banff Trail outbound and pulling in inbound is 30kmh. Its no safer/unsafer then Banff Trail or even Chinook.

And right now, there's a slow order for 30km/h, so you're not doing 70km/h anywhere through there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1604 Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Some pics! Looking south along the SB platform. South ground level crossing, with the BMO centre expansion really taking shape. Old track at the south end. What's left on the east side. Looking north along the NB platform. New signage covering up the old direction. The old NB track. The new NB track. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that means CT is still contracting with EPCOR for certain services. ENMAX did the OCS on ETS's SLRT extension to HSS, but, that ended up being the one and only time ENMAX worked on Edmonton's LRT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1604 Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 Some more pics! The new platforms have been built, the station canopies are going up, and the new ground level crossing at the south end is taking shape. Looking at the new canopy for the new southbound platform. It partially overhangs the current temporary northbound platform. Current south end ground level crossing with the new, red concrete one further down. The BMO Centre expansion is huge and visible from a long way down 17th Ave. Looking south and north from the new crossing. Other shots of the new platforms and canopies. New track segments at the north end. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick B Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Don’t think anyone posted anything on this board specifically yet so thought I’d share a few pics of the newly (almost) completed station. Still plenty more work to do but I’m loving the wide and open platforms (pending construction). 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
