TT Ride Along - UP Express and Pearson's Terminal Link (2025)

In 2019, Transit Toronto editor James Bow went down to Pearson to film a ride-along video of the Pearson Terminal Link train, and the UP Express to Union and back. Much has changed since then, and much will continue to change, so it was time to do an update. Here's the same run, taken again over two days in October and November of 2025, with a little extra at the end commemorating the opening of Mount Dennis station.
