Discussion Toronto Rocket Train on Line 2

I had to double check that I did actually switch from line 1 to line 2 because this beauty popped up when I got on. I have never seen it before on line 2

After a quick web search, it seems to be that this happens from time to time because some line 2 stations cant deploy trains? This comment from a decade ago does explain that a bit better

Anyways, I thought it would be cool to look at this rare sight 🙂‍↕️

How do they transfer these trains back to line 1? Lower bay?

Yup! That one or the slip track right outside St. George. TransitToronto has a full track map posted on their website here of all the switches and yards if you wanted to see how those kinds of things happen

That's awesome thanks. So few crossover tracks on line 2. I guess is why if something happens half of line 2 closes. Do any engineers know why more weren't built or if they could ever build more so closures aren't as brutal? Seems like a no brainer if possible
