Today a similar Mark IV tamper https://harscorail.com/equipment/surfacing/mark-iv-tamper.html was over legacy Hunt Club bridge. Likely now rails from Walkley yard, through Greenboro, W side of South Keys Station, past Lester Rd to NRC and also towards FlyYOW spur. FLIRT Trillium Stage 2 testing soon?

 Fantastic aerial shots of the SJAM parkway O-Train tunnel, that will connect from Kichi Sibi Station to Sherbourne Station. The tunnel is being built cut-and-cover. Once completed, the road will be realigned and a portion will pass on top.

 Placing lightweight foam blocks onto foundations over deep marine clay for the new VIA flyover approaches, Trillium Line Stage 2

Looks like all Transitway flyover beams now placed and cleanup activities now in progress. Trillium Line Stage 2.

On the NE side of the new VIA flyover, many white foam blocks will be used for the approaches because of the marine/leda clay underlying. The bridge piers were drilled out very deep. Trillium Line Stage 2.
