Toronto is building one of the most ambitious railway projects in North America—without ever pressing pause.
The GO Expansion is a $12-billion megaproject electrifying 600 kilometers of track, laying 200 kilometers of new lines, and delivering trains every 15 minutes across Canada’s largest city. From laser-guided night crews to the installation of North America’s first network-wide digital signalling system, this is a rail revolution happening while commuters ride.
In this video, we go inside the scale, complexity, and human impact of Toronto’s new Mega Railway—from the 401 tunnels to the Davenport Diamond flyover and beyond.
This is how Toronto is building a world-class transit system—under traffic, under pressure, and under the radar.
