Coliseum Station Platform ^^
Sorry about missing the unloading process, because I had to go to school at 9am ~ 5pm ~.~

[@ppc7400]

I was on the train home from work right behind this one. Had to wait quite a few times in the middle of the track waiting for 1038 to reach Clareview.

[@jackieliem2007]

Those New Train will be in service in September ! and thank you for your time ^^

[@jackieliem2007]

Yes, off course ! I will do it soon this train is in Service !

[@SPS148669]

WOW it's already been one full year since the first train arrived and just a tad few more to go before we have all of them.

[@kool880]

Hey man, it's been forever. What happened to all your amazing videos you used to have? Particularly the C train one with the upbeat music? I've been trying to find it again for years now. If you still have it somewhere I'd be super excited to see or even hear it again.

[@trainfan101]

JL, It's awesome that you got the switcher engine picking up the flatcar!

[@jackieliem2007]

Thank You, and I still waiting those train to put into Service, So I can shot inside ^^

[@jackieliem2007]

okok... I will check them out as soon you upload.

[@jackieliem2007]

No way ! I never seen a new train delivery after 1039 !

[@jackieliem2007]

thank you, but it is the delivery of the new train ^^ NOT Test Run ~.~

[@jackieliem2007]

I think ours new train like Strealine, just like the new buses, and your calgary train and buses still look like boxes ! ^^

[@kool880]

we now have all 37 new SD160 cars 1038 to 1074.

[@jackieliem2007]

Yes, they do... It just like the hybrid bus

[@jackieliem2007]

I think I had to ask my friend about when that train is going to be test run.

[@Tommybouchard2007]

my guess is the new trains will be in service in september 15th or 8th 2008

[@jackieliem2007]

I had no news at all about the new cars, because of my friend is driving buses this summer ~.~

[@kool880]

ETS 1071 sustained structural damage and was returned.

[@jackieliem2007]

that right, I was joking around here. but my friend told me that in D.L shop, somethings are not fit ~.~

[@jackieliem2007]

[@Tommybouchard2007]

[@Tommybouchard2007]

[@SPS148669]

Of course they fit underground if they got it through the short tunnel under CN tracks just before belvedere.

[@jackieliem2007]

[@Tommybouchard2007]
