Tri-City residents may have noticed trains running along the Evergreen Line near Burquitlam Station this week as crews work to evaluate the SkyTrain's communications systems.
On Tuesday, the Evergreen Line Rapid Transit Project released a video of a train being manually controlled by a driver as it slowly approached the newly construced station. ELRTP said that during the testing and commissioning phase, all trains would be controlled by an operator.
Testing began last month on the completed portion of the track between Lougheed Centre Station and Burquitlam Station.
Work is expected to continue all along the line and will include the testing of power, automatic train control.
