What was originally dubbed the RAV line and eventually named the Canada Line had a major milestone yesterday, April 1st, 2008. On a small section of track from the River Rock station to the Airport a train was run in the first of many testing phases.
Each train, built by Hyundai, will hold approx. 400 passengers seated and standing. The trains are a fixed length and cannot have passenger cars added to them so to increase capacity more trains will have to be added.
Each section of track will have to be tested to ensure no rubbing and to verify if any adjustments need to be made.
