Every piece counts when it comes to unlocking transit
Important work is going on to improve the functionality of GO Transit’s Don Yard.
Dec 19, 2019
You wouldn’t think a simple retaining wall would be so important.
In the world of trains, not everything is an elaborate tunnel under the city or a shiny new locomotive.
Sometimes the small, seemingly mundane things combine to have a great impact on transit.
As we continue to show you evidence of progress on the GO Expansion program across the Greater Golden Horseshoe region we want to show you this retaining wall and the story behind it.

This simple wall was recently completed near GO Transit’s Don Yard, just east of Union Station. This is where GO stores and services several trains when they are not in use.
It’s all part of a larger project to upgrade and expand the Don Yard, to allow trains to be serviced closer to Union Station and avoid using vital tracks to move empty trains.

It just goes to show sometimes it’s the little things that make the difference.
