Looking Down the Elevated Guideway

Take a look at the elevated guideway on North Road. On the left side of the guideway, crews have installed the mounting brackets for the power rail. The rails that the SkyTrain cars run on have also been installed. In between the running rails is the linear induction motor rail (the grey component between the rails). It is an aluminum-capped metal structure that interacts with the linear induction motors creating a magnetic force that “pulls” the train along the track.
