I think some of those are from two months ago
Doesn't matter. I can't get enough!

It's amazing to see a new RT rail line being constructed. It's about damn time!I enjoy it too, it’s amazing to see construction projects from start to finish
Them gonna be some THICC cat poles on the center divider based on the size of those pours.
Any idea if theyre being built strong enough to support cat on the commuter rail side as well?
Of course. Testing and commissioning of the line(s) and equipment will likely take eight to ten months, if not longer. Track geometry vehicles will analyze track infrastructure. Syncing of signal and electric traction systems. Coordination with the operations control center at High Street. More than flipping a switch. There is a lot of federal oversight on this project, per the funding make-up, so it will also need to be reviewed and authorized at that level prior to initiating service.Will this line be tested after it is completed, to make sure that things will run smoothly?

The community working group meetings have said 6 months minimum testing on the line. I think someone else said the vehicle testing is happening as we speak because they're running them now on the older line. So probably closer to the 6 month end of the estimates. Though who knows, they're still laying down track and putting up the OCS, there's still some time for some problems to creep into the project.
I think that the Type 9's will be taken off
the existing branches of the GL & moved over to the GLX. Those are the newest vehicles on the GL to date.
