Toronto Link (Air Train), Edited Version, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2012
This is two flights later, in Toronto Lester B. Pearson Airport, where I was stranded. Say what you will about Amtrak, but their delays are generally limited to about 16 hours. Airlines will delay you for days. In this case, though, I got my first look at Toronto airport's "Link" air train, seen here. These trains are cable-operated (ultimately electric, I'm assuming) and driverless, and seem to use unconventional rails, albeit two of them, meaning that this isn't a true monorail. The right of way is described by Wikipedia as an "Elevated Steel Tube Truss." The system was built by DCC Doppelmayr Cable Car in 2006, and the system's route length is only 1.47Km. The speed limit is 43.2 Km/h, which doesn't actually matter since it isn't human-operated. Wikipedia alleges as of this writing that the system is currently shut down to make it easier to build the Union Pearson Express, a conventional heavy rail link with Toronto Union Station.
