ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
   
Rails going in at Caroline & Allen!

   
Close up of the scribework on the rails.  This particular section's length, Southbound rail, Curve 12.  You can find all this info on the drawings under the Functional Design Plans on the Rapid Transit site.  I particularly like looking at the markings for the entrance and exit points for the spiral curves that make a nice smooth transition from straight track to curve track!

   
Constant radius section - radius is about 25 m, the minimum for the trains we're getting (FLEXITY Freedom).  This is pretty much the standard minimum radius for all LRV's though.

   
Not happy about this. There are two bike racks that, when used, essentially completely block off the path on the North side of Waterloo Town Square.
