Comments on: Up, up and away. UP 1008E heads towards Toronto Union Station from Toronto Pearson Airport on Metrolonx’s Weston Sub. With Covid travel restrictions still in place, these airport express trains are very lightly traveled these days.

Well Issac, I can only assume that the searchlight signals will eventually all be replaced by LED’s at some point. As an engineman I have always hated the LED”s by day because they don’t seem to be as bright as the searchlights. By night, you can see those suckers from space kidding, but they are bright. Sadly the searchlights that were gaurding the approach to Pickering Jct at Liverpool on the Kingston and York Subs were replaced last weekend. I will post pics soon.

Yeah I don’t like the sound of that. Do you know if there are plans to purge the searchlights on the Kingston at Guildwood and east?

@Issac. Get used to them my friend. They are going up all over Metrolinx’s multi track territory.
