Why do the Canada Line trains squeal on curves? answered Line, Why, Canada, answered, curves

ACC-HE

In the older lines they spent the extra money to bank a lot of the turns. With the Canada Line to save money they could of spent the extra money to bank the turn. But they didn’t. So we got flat bent turns. Which with trains causes the wheels to squeal. Same thing actually happens on the older lines in those area where the bank isn’t in the track.

I'm just worried that on the long haul, it's gonna be more expensive because it puts extra stresses on the wheels/bearings/track...

too late to talk about that now.. isn't it?

rail is laid and trains are moving.. unless we can shut down the system for half a year for re-laying the tracks and reprogram the train.

otherwise getting a earmuff is what we can do..

When everything is on budget and in accordance with the guideline, there's nothing to complain...

If they have followed the regular maintenance, that shouldn't be a problem...
