- An Ontario Northland train laying fibre optic cable for Bell Aliant along the Ontario Northland Railway right-of-way.
This particular piece of work occurred at the Glencore-Xstrata Kidd Creek Met Site Hoyle rail yard, about 10km east of Porcupine.
well, they are laying conduit for sure. a contractor will come back later and blow in the fiber cables.
Life in northern Ontario …
I saw a cable train that day in porcupine on king street
+crazyoutdoorsman 2112 It was the same one. They were laying the tubing for the new fibre optic cables that run between Timmins and Toronto.
FISH
Do you have a video of the train on king street
What "gives" if they happen upon something that is not so movable such as an abandoned concrete footing or a large rock that was just buried in place?
I would assume that they would run the line around it or conduit above ground.
@@30secondfail I guess the point I'm trying to make is what prevents damage to the installation equipment when the plow encounters something unexpected and immovable under the surface?
@@GFSwinger1693 no idea. I would assume that most objects that would impede the plow arm are known and marked. On this line there isnt much infrastructure and most of what is there was put there by the railroad.
They shoot a bore they go under it
Great video, good camera work!
What is the purpose of this cable? What will happen there? What is its functionality?
Fibre optic cable, for high speed internet and telecommunications.
The Ontario Northland Railroad was part of a larger government organization called "Ontario Northland Telecommunications" (the telecommunications part is now owned by Bell Aliant), and is responsible for maintaining most of the hard (none cellular) communications infrastructure in northern Ontario.
Meaning on this highway, will pass, the Internet, and mobile communications, and transmit packet data through fiber optic?
That is correct.
Are you from Belarus, Russia, or Ukraine?
Yes, it is true, I am from the Ukrainian SSR
It was simply not clear what kind of work people perform. Thanks you
replaces the outdated telegraph today all signals run on fiber optic.
Great video but as far as the content is concerned this looks like a terrible idea. That can't be good for the track alignment nor the loco, powerful it may well be but a bulldozer it definitely isn't.
About time they repaired those crappy rails and ballast.
Nope. They were laying fibre op cable. No ballast or rail replacement.
That was done by a private company that did a miserable job at it three or four years ago.
ONR did some ballast dumps last summer and this summer.
I knew that is what they were doing, I just meant that the rails and ballast ALSO needed some serious attention.
Stupid idea, who dreamed this crap up, the right of way owner to charge for cable space lease?
Always to much crap around rail lines, crossings, switches, RR electric, etc.
Ontario Northland was founded both as a railway and as a telecommunications provider owned by the province. The right of way also served as a telecommunications route. Great idea 100 years ago when the railroad was literally the only viable transportation route in the area, and there weren't any roads.
Bell Aliant purchased the telecommunications aspect 2014, and in doing so, assumed the costs of maintaining and upgrading the network. As they do not need to pay for the right of way, or to develop a new right of way, it is cheaper to use the existing route and the infrastructure that is there. Given that this is a rural/forest region, the need to go under/around crossings, switches, etc. is minimal, opposed to blazing a new trail through the forest, or running above ground wires along a roadway.
This is how it's been done since the early 80's when the first fiber optic cables were buried along the RR right of way. I've been building and testing long haul fiber networks for 25 years all over North America and Europe. All the major Telecom companies share fibers in the cables and space in the fiber huts (repeater sites) along the way. For example, if you overlayed a North American railroad map with a fiber optic cable map, they would be pretty much identical.
Camera work was terrible, shaking all over the place. Get a tri-pod and learn how to use it. Subject matter was excellent.
Yeah.. can't always go rush home and get a tripod for a spur of the moment catch (I was coming home from work).
Frank Parnell, lets see your camera work.
