- Aerial photography filmed with a DJI Phantom 3 Advanced. The Confederation Line is a light rail transit (LRT) line under construction in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
The Confederation Line is a transportation system worthy of one of the world’s leading capital cities. The 12.5 kilometre line from Blair Station to Tunney’s Pasture includes a 2.5 kilometre tunnel through the downtown core, 13 stations, a Maintenance and Storage Facility and the purchase of 34 Alstom CITADIS Light Rail Vehicles.

nice vid. thanks!
This is fascinating. So much of this construction is underway behind fences, or below ground level. Even on the bus we see little. There is some grumbling now about the projected completion date being later than originally estimated. If people saw how much work is going into this I think there would be more appreciation for the effort that has been involved.
Certainly showcasing the LRT from a different perspective! Thank you for sharing!
+Ottawa Business Journal Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching & commenting!
Thanks for this awesome vid! The view of the old neighbourhood is making me homesick. Born and raised in the east end and can't wait to ride these rails. I've been living in Banff, AB. for 21 years but will making a special trip home in 2018 just so I can experience this.
Nice to see same when it's completed !
Great shots of the new line going up! Any plans for an updated video this spring?
If I can find the time, I may do a follow-on video.
Weird that the curve at Hurdman before the bridge is a series of straight segments. Won't that cause a lot of jerking as the train goes from segment to segment?
+dmn62 That's just the bridge deck. The rails haven't been installed yet. Those will be properly curved.
you should do another flyby. They are much further along
That was spectacular. A video for the history archive. You'll have to fly again in 2020 to compare.
+FlyingYankee59 Thanks! When more construction is completed, I'll certainly make a follow up. Hmmm.... wonder if they'd let me fly through the tunnels? :)
+CAPTAIN DRONE - beautiful video, you should check with the city about doing this, that would be awesome. Have you videod any of the west stations yet?
+Bruce Raganold Nothing yet. Perhaps this summer as construction progresses.
Very cool. Excellent drone work. Thank you for posting!
+Ryan Wright Thank you! And, thanks for watching & commenting.
Great Video. Can't wait for the LRT to begin!
Nice work, cool to see it from that view.
Yeah Ottawa finally joining the rest of the world! Keep your people mobile and your economy will flourish !
+George Lacroix I'm looking forward to the finished product. Certainly a nice improvement for the city.
Fantastic Video. Please come to Toronto and film one along the new Eglinton Cross Town Line.
Well put video. Please come to Phoenix, AZ and demonstrate how transit should be ran to increase ridership. We're losing ridership from month to month during a extension phase. The public in this county (Maricopa) is not happy with the system.
Pretty Cool Thanks!
+Jimmy Dukes You're welcome & thanks for watching.
Fantastic!
Please do another update of this!
Should have done this 40 years ago!
Awesome video! Could you make another video of the east side and the west portion of the track? It would be cool to see the changes.
Also: Great work!, keep on doing what you do
Thanks! If I have time and I'm not interrupting construction or people/traffic, I'll make another video.
+CAPTAIN DRONE Awesome thanks!
Holy Crap, was an OC driver from 75 til o6, Where did my familiar transitway go, So Different... Looking forward to hoping on new LRT from one end to the other gr8 nvideo
I would love more flybys in 2018
Hi, is this offer serious? Lots of Ottawa lrt vid opportunities. Paul
Here's another way to see Ottawa from the air: th-cam.com/video/PToZta7QAAc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Cap D. I've been waiting for something like this, the Official website is nothing compared to this, granted they have tunnel access. Are you working on another video for the "West" LRT stations?
Thank you Jim. I have not been out to see the west end construction yet. The web site shows that it has not entered full construction mode yet. Once everything is a go and being built, I'll be out to shoot a short video segment and post it here.
It really too bad the mayor and city counsellors have demonstrated they are not particularly trustworthy or concerned with anyone who is not wealthy.
Over priced transportation costs in an over-taxed city, forcing people to live outside the city and pay with their lives (time) and some of the highest public transportation costs anywhere.
On top of all that, one cannot just 'hop" on a train, one needs to put money on a card, and then take an over-priced, super-slow trip delayed with snow, traffic and derailments due to shortsightedness, being cheap, non-transparent and working for big business instead of people.
Ottawa property taxes force homeowners on to the street, because rents are so high, due to the fact the wealthy who can write off their capital gains and expenses and shelter their investments, raise rents to pay those taxes. The city encourages condos that pay taxes and condo fees. Who does that benefit???
Where, exactly, does the city think people get their money????? It seems the city caters to the wealthy and disposes of, or "puts up with" the non-wealthy (sorry we're poor).
The city, as do most governments, only care about optics. they only care about people after they die, especially if it is due to the failure of their ("our") social services.
There is always room for improvement, and sometimes, there is room for a lot of improvement.
You’re kidding right?
are all the stops going to be in the middle of nowhere or is the town built like that.
+Papat26 The stops in the video are on arteries into the city. The city core was still off into the distance. You can see some of the city core in this video: th-cam.com/video/qYFxCzTD-28/w-d-xo.html
I thought Blair station got wrecked so they could do new construction?
Blair station has been enhanced.
Do you work on the OLRT? did you get any SFOCs?
+Dillon Nord Neither. Just your local mild mannered Ottawa citizen. :)
Where did the music come from?
Music is from TH-cam
Hi CD, nice video! I like the early morning light in the Blair Rd. shot in particular.
If the video is purely for recreational purposes, you should be aware of Transport Canada's recommendations on safe drone use:
www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/standards/standards-4179.html
In particular:
"Don't fly Closer than 9 km from any airport, heliport, or aerodrome."
(The transitway where you're shooting is just 4 kilometers south of Rockcliffe Airport)
and
"Don't fly Near moving vehicles, highways, bridges, busy streets or anywhere you could endanger or distract drivers."
(I notice you're flying over active roads at multiple points of the video.)
Transport Canada gets much more serious about these restrictions if the flight is for anything other than recreational use. Any non-recreational (commercial) flights have to be under a Special Flight Operations Certificate.
If you applied for a Special Flight Operations Certificate from Transport Canada, you could get exemptions to these restrictions.
If you're not familiar with these procedures, I'd recommend signing up to the facebook groups:
facebook.com/groups/SFOC.CA/
and
facebook.com/groups/cuava/
Do a little reading there then ask any questions, lots of people willing to help you figure out the do's and don'ts and how to stay legit with respect to Transport Canada.
+Greg Marshall Hi Greg. Thanks for the comments. I'm very familiar with Canada, US and UK drone rules. We do need regs for operating drones because of course anyone can pick one up and just start flying (TH-cam has plenty of examples). I'm a seasoned drone operator/photographer and use caution, common-sense, before flying in all situations. I'll certainly join the Facebook groups to discuss further.
