Wow, this explains station timers so well. Great video!

[@T2PFilms]

Thank you!

[@Skybound_travel]

Explained insanely well

[@mtanyctfan8100]

ATC is coming to line 1

[@everythingbagelproductions236]

ATC VS CBTC

0:40 27 February........ 1997...?
Ok...... movin' on. lol

[@TrainsToronto]

Why is there music like the train is going to crash into NYC station?

[@BenTheMiner]

Hi

[@trainboy647]

you didn't mention that the conductor has to point to the green triangle after the train pulls into the station but before opening the train doors to confirm the stop position.

[@orion45]

When the video was made, they didn't have to do that.

[@Vincent_Sullivan]

07:59 "You are now leaving the No Snaking or Portable Bugging zone". Can anybody explain what this means?

[@everythingbagelproductions236]

probably a joke lol

[@RobloxComixMan3480]

Wow, nice.

[@brunomartinengo9269]

good filmated and good video.

[@T2PFilms]

Thanks

[@luisfilipem]

someone explain me why i see vids with trains proceeding with red over green on interlocking signals ?

[@T2PFilms]

Can you provide an example?

[@luisfilipem]

Yes, but I believe i was mislead by the colour wich is very similar ( on video )...
from what i see, it changes from red over green ( train stops run ) to amber over green ( train proceeds ) .
It is in this video :
[HD] Ride on Line 1 Yonge-University-Spadina (Wilson Hostler to Finch) in 4 Minutes (Timelapse)
at 0:50 &1:10 among others..
Thanks

[@T2PFilms]

Correct it was amber over green which is favorable. The system does not have red over green signals that I am aware of.

[@luisfilipem]

Thank you

[@briansokoloski776]

the Hawker Sydney subway cars should be upgraded with new motors still solid cars

[@GeeTransit]

They've all retired, and even if they were upgraded, the time left for the trains to use the new motors would be less economically feasible.

[@funvideofan1625]

8:18 Is That Lawrence West Station

[@TorontoTransitFan]

Fun Video Fan Number 1 probably is

[@Buzzlybee]

no one gives a shit

[@germancountryball446]

@@Buzzlybee then I'll delete the station

[@hnkul702]

I wonder where 3:15 is. Anyone know?

[@T2PFilms]

hnkul702 St. George

[@hnkul702]

T2P0 Films Thanks, I couldn't tell because the lights were so bright that I thought we were looking into a station.

[@sirxavior1583]

Is this the reason why there is a Signal Problem Delay on an almost daily basis..because of the signal blocking system???? If just 1 train is stoped it occupies a block and creates a backlog of trains behind it that are also blocking other sections of track. Until train 1 train clears none of the trains can go anywhere?

[@T2PFilms]

Yes cascading effect

[@TTC4300]

Lines 3 and 4 use 4-car trains so the 4 signs are seen on those lines, not the 6 signs.

[@HesJustSteven]

Well line 3 is automatic so it doesnt use markers but line 4 yes it uses 4 markers

[@TorontoTransitFan]

Steven Francis it does and also I still can see the 2 marker on line 3

[@Gamer-ln4yx]

1995 crash. The trip was not working.
Or it was a human error.

[@Vincent_Sullivan]

I believe it was both. Human error created the situation and the trip didn't save the day because it was not located in exactly the correct position relative to the passing trains.
