The OMSF campus will include a maintenance building, a washing plant, a maintenance of way building, a test track, a stabling yard, a traction power substation building, a step-up substation building and two operations control centres with one acting as a backup to provide operations with critical redundancy if one goes down. The OMSF will be capable of accommodating an expanded fleet to meet the growing needs of Toronto and the surrounding region. The RSSOM project includes all trackwork and guideway fit-out throughout the entire alignment.
