SAW LRT PROBLEM COMING
Re: Off track — again!; More LRT problems as another train derails, Sept. 20
We have travelled Ottawa's low-cost LRT just once, empty of passengers, on a Sunday before regular operations started. Rounding the bends at Hurdman, the poor wheels groaned in complaint, this under no-load conditions. Under full loads, the wear is massively accelerated.
I am amazed that failure to realign the station/bridge to give acceptable line curvatures has taken so long to bear fruit.
