RAILREEL" ION & IONIZATION" Waterloo Ontario July 19 2020

I was in the Waterloo Ontaio area today and decided to shoot some ION LRT system there. The first hour was okay but then a severe storm moved through so added a bit of it in the video. . We need the rain for sure. Thanks for looking.

Cool. Rode it halfway when it first opened. Plan to do the whole line one day.

[@thebrantfordrailfan]

Awesome! I remember before the LRT was there and remember boarding at that station for a WCR steam excursion

[@railpast]

Yes I worked on it for about a year once it was mover to Waterloo. I also worked on it 5 years when it was in St Thomas.

I hate the shelters for LRTS...they offer no shelter for rain and snow storms because they are so damn small.

[@FrogandFlangeVideo]

Well this was a nice change of pace. Thanks. Enjoyed it. Anyone know the meaning of the 'Begins ATP 'sign means at 1:36 ?

Something a bit different. Had planned to do much more but never quit raining once the storm moved in so headed home,.

[@dennismarlow3830]

you should do the Waterloo steam train from the Mennonite market one day. i took that 3 years ago

[@railpast]

Rode many times as worked on it for a year after it was moved from St Thomas to Waterloo. Spend 5 years on it in St Thomas. Lots of great memories.

[@railpast]

Yes, rain was going sideways. :-)
