- Get ready for an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into the construction of the extension of O-Train Lines 1/3 in Ottawa! Scheduled to open in 2025, the eastern extension, stretching to Trim road, will introduce a new chapter in Ottawa's public transit system in Orleans.
In this video, Rail Fans Canada got an exclusive opportunity to explore the future of transit at Jeanne d'Arc Station. The extension of O-Train Lines 1/3 promises to redefine the city's transportation landscape, with the eastern extension adding 14 kilometres of rail and 5 new stations. Additionally, we are honoured to have Bradley Cooper, Senior Engineer of Stage 2 Construction at the City of Ottawa, sharing his expertise and insights. Together, we'll better understand the construction process and the exciting amenities awaiting passengers on the expanded O-Train Lines 1/3.
Two of the extension's standout features includes an elevated flyover east of Blair Station, and centre median stations located in the middle of Highway 174. This major project will bring the O-Train network closer to more people than ever.

Great video. I'd love to see one from the Trim station if possible.
That would be cool! Hoping to have an opportunity to do so in the future.
great video as always shane 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video - well done!
Many thanks!
Another banger video!
Thanks. It was a fun visit. Looking forward to more visits in 2024.
So it's happening. Tracks are on. I hear soon vehicle testing will start
Testing should hopefully be able to start in January 2024. We are definitely keeping an eye out for the start of it, we are very excited to see trains moving at speed in the east. -David
Another great video Shane, thanks for doing these updates.
Can’t help but notice that they still have steel posts going into the platforms instead of putting them on short cement pillars to keep the salt away from the steel. Oh well, we can look forward to lots of rusted steel posts same as in the stage 1 stations I guess. Too bad, they could have saved themselves a lot of maintenance work, and kept the stations looking good longer so easily.
Thank you.
Great video Shane! I'm very excited for the extension to open. How effective are those sound barriers? Median rail isn't ideal, but if the sound insulation is sufficient, that will greatly improve the experience.
It’s quite effective. Although the portion underneath the Jeanne d’Arc overpass will be louder due to the sound reflecting off the bridge, it is still acceptable. The rest is really good.
woot
yooo
