Photo of Line 2 train arriving at Greenboro station. Red cab, white body, green line colour on maps and signage.

Took a few minutes to ride Ottawa’s Line 2 and Line 4 trains this week. Didn’t have time for the full line so it’s an incomplete adventure.
Line 2: looong new diesel trains. Nice. Still has absurd single-track segments limiting service frequency.
Line 4: little […]
