In late May, OC Transpo had the privilege of hosting a very special guest at our O-Train simulator.
As a child, Juanita Snelgrove grew up next to train tracks. After seeing trains pass by her home every day, she always dreamt of driving one.
She never gave up on that dream and at the age of 107, it finally came true.
OC Transpo is giving Ottawa residents an inside look at our Simulator Facility and the ongoing construction for Stage 2 at Greenboro Station.
Have you checked out our new Rack & Roll practice bike rack? It was first introduced at Hurdman Station last fall. Each month, the practice bike rack moves to a new location. This makes it easier for cyclists to try it out in their own area. Keep checking back to find out where you can try out the practice bike rack each month.
The practice rack is located at Tunney's Pasture Station on Scott Street to the right of the entrance.

Spring is in the air and construction is moving ahead full speed on all three Stage 2 O-Train Extensions.
The O-Train South extension is getting closer to completion each day. We recently celebrated the Stadler FLIRT’s first journey to Riverside South in late April. As trackwork continues to progress, we’re excited to see the FLIRT travel further north.
Before this can happen, let’s check in on how rail installation is progressing on the O-Train South Extension.
