There may be a few minor projects by CT to take advantage of the closure, but this is really all for Roads. Expect many more here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbeat Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 I notice a couple of planned disruptions this weekend. As @CTrainDude predicted, there's another closure to accommodate work on the Macleod Trail overpass over the train tracks between Chinook and Heritage. http://www.calgarytransit.com/service-updates?nid=180588 There's also some single-tracking at Whitehorn. http://www.calgarytransit.com/service-updates?nid=180587 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey! Welcome! Well that’s news to me. I know they were short turning trains at Shawnessey because Somerset Bridlewood Station was closed because of a police matter. That would definitely explain it! if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.. don’t be shy and once again welcome to the board! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
