While walking in to work this morning (around 09:00) I noticed the gauntlet tracks and corresponding signals were still set for freight.

I also thought the rule was freight at night only.

Although in truth with the signalling system they have, combined with the nature of the traffic, there is really no danger worth considering of a collision. But I thought there was an inflexible agreement with Transport Canada regarding the operating rules. It’s possible it’s not fully strict yet, since the LRT isn’t in passenger service.
