First time spotting the new Mark 5 #SkyTrain vehicle out and about for testing.
The train is definitely slightly longer than the station platforms, with the ends sticking out.

Truly impressed by this small but mighty subway, the Copenhagen Metro.
It's a Canada Line-sized automated metro, and it’s exactly what the Canada Line and other SkyTrain projects should be (except for the Copenhagen Metro's honour system for fares).

Since the first fire began 4 days ago in the Los Angeles area, 37,000+ acres or about 150 sq km have burned.
To give BC residents some perspective, that's the size of the City of Vancouver, University Endowment Lands, UBC & the City of North Vancouver put together.
