At least it wasn't smoking, but train at Assembly was croaking

This morning:
It's no joke when a train begins to smoke.

If only they had something

- say a third track - that would allow them to bypass the station with other trains instead of totally disrupting service. Oh wait ...

Where are you going to put

Where are you going to put that third track?

The third track

that is currently in place between south of Community College and just north of Wellington, and was fully restored when the work at Assembly was completed. It has full connections with the northbound (outbound) track at both points. Never been used for revenue service, but could have been very helpful to redirect trains around a problem at Assembly.

still

Still less obnoxious than if the train started vaping.
