Subway Line Extension

DESCRIPTION

Advanced Railway Concepts Ltd. (now known as Condor Signal & Communications Inc.) was awarded the contract to supply the signal system for the extension of the Spadina subway line from Wilson Station to a new station at Downsview. When TTC’s existing train tracking system could not accommodate the new track sections, CONDOR was awarded an additional contract to supply a new Run Number Tracking system that enabled staff at Hillcrest Control Center to track all trains on the entire subway system.
