Where is that? That doesn't appear to be a road. I didn't realize they were embedding the track in concrete on the off road portions?

It's the crossing of Courtland Ave.
Rails at Duke and Queen! (OK, OK, they are not exactly finished, but there
are rails there ...)

That's really cool - because if they just hammer out the embedded track for the crossing there (which it looks like they are), then maybe Queen can completely open in the next few weeks! Thanks for pointing this out Tom - I thought they were still months away from any track work further along Duke!
It's really awesome that so many people are contributing updates from all different sections of the line. It's like we all have our little "favourite spots" that we always check out and between all of us, we have this thing pretty well covered! Go team!
Queen needs to be open before they can choose Frederick.
That Last photo looks like a forest of utility poles.
Video Tour - Sunday, July 17, 2016: King/Northfield (near Conestoga Terminus)
Was up at Waterloo Park today, had a bit of a look around.
First time I'd seen this arrangement for transporting bundles of rail. Looks practical, if inelegant.
From the new pedestrian crossing. Looks properly polished and elegant! I note that only the left-side tracks here, the ones that will carry the freight trains, require those central guidance rails.
Opposite view.
Not so elegant: these old wooden railing pieces that have yet to be removed.
The TPSS is certainly a standout, but it seems offset enough from the tracks that a screen of bushes/trees could go in to obscure it some more.
And finally, some concerned citizen has alerted us to the presence of something
classically monstrous within the culverts...
I was wondering what that meant. I thought maybe it was a Pokemon Go reference.
Now that I'm back in town (at least for a bit), I did my usual morning walk. It seems the focus of activity has switched away from Charles, though, but let's see whether anyone is back to work tomorrow.
Waiting for the platform construction across the street from the Benton-Charles garage.

A missing section added just E of Benton. What are these sections with the pipes?

Hmmmm. Those rails don't look quite ready! (Just W of Cedar.)

LRT signals at Cedar!

The EB rails at Madison are in, but not the forms for pouring the concrete.
