Two friends, Chris Drew and Bryan Martinyuk, have collaborated to tweet pictures of the much-delayed Crosstown LRT test vehicle and other cars for Metrolinx and the TTC. From the captions it appears that these cars have left Thunder Bay in recent hours or in the case of the GO vehicle, last month. The first look at the LRT car came thanks to photos tweeted by Mr. Drew, a Ryerson University urban planning graduate. The photos, taken by his friend Brian Martyniuk, showed the test vehicle on a railway flatcar in Thunder Bay on Sunday. The other pictures are on Mr. Drew’s account @chrisjamesdrew
