Churchill, Manitoba, Canada
While Churchill is so far north of Winnipeg & nowhere near as big, it really should become the Sea-Port of Manitoba. A northern counterpart to the cargo & freight operations in Winnipeg.

Yes indeed at 1070 feet, the Salesforce_Tower will be quite an impressive sight for the city.
"The building rises 1,070 feet high and is the tallest U.S. office building west of Chicago. Salesforce, a cloud-computing company that specializes in customer relationship management, is the "anchor tenant" and will occupy floors three to 30 and the top two levels, 60 and 61. Rather than designating the two top floors for executive offices, Salesforce will keep them open to all employees and their guests, Pinkham said." http://www.cnbc.com/201 7/04/06/salesforce-tower-san- franciscos-tallest-building- views.html

One of the biggest urban planning blunders was not designing the YVR-Canada-Line to have long trains and linking it to the ferry terminals.
The Airport+Line or YVR-Canada+Line?
Wednesday, May 3, 2017
Tuesday, May 2, 2017
Is Tsawwassen Mills is one of Metro Vancouver's worst urban planning mistakes?
http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/tsawwassen-mills-worst-urban-planning-metro-vancouver
Instead of having a train between the ferry terminal, the mall and YVR, Delta remains underserved by public transit, as well as inadequate roads. Had there been better urban transportation planning, Tsawwassen+Mills could have been an easy stop in-between the Delta ferry terminal and Richmond and the airport (YVR).
Greater Vancouver & BC continually opt for under capacity transportation choices. It's like there has been an unofficial, multi decade agenda to encourage congestive planning. Fortunately, most urban regions around the world refuse to follow the backwards BC approach to things.
Some Urban Trains
Fortunately, Toronto & Montreal had enough vision to plan & build 152.45m or 500 foot long subway & metro stations. Even Edmonton & Seattle have much longer underground train stations than the Vancouver-Richmond train or the YVR Canada+Line. The Vancouver C-Line is a fine example of congestive & inept planning and should be studied all around the world as a warning. It could be called the, FINANCIAL DRAINAGE LINE, or the, CATHETER LINE. That's because the ridiculous 50m stations aren't even quite a 3rd of the length of the 152.5m Montreal Metro trains & stations. Thus, it will be difficult to lengthen these very short stations.
It's one thing if the C+Line was started off with absurdly, short 2.5 car trains, but at least the stations were already built to gradually accomodate 5 car trains, plus still have extra clearance for even 5 more coaches. That would have been a reasonable attempt of planning for future capacity, but that's something BC just isn't that good at. The stations should have been designed to be ultimately accomodate 10 car trains, not some quarter-length joke.
Eventually, three 20m coaches could be linked together. Then an extra 20m coach at both ends of each 3 car, 60m train. While a five car, 100m train would seem too long for 50m, inadequate BC stations, a walkthrough train makes it a possibility. That and Selective_door_operation makes a 5 car train quite possible.
It is very sad that the backward BC mentality never properly envisioned a 10 car train to provide a high capacity link between the Tsawwassen_ferry_terminal, Bridgeport_station & the YVR-Airport_station, Downtown_Vancouver, Park_Royal_Exchange and the Horseshoe_Bay_ferry_terminal. Only a properly functioning metropolitan region can do something like that. The Greater Vancouver Region just isn't at that level yet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
"The operation of the Central Circle is similar to the S-Train systems in Germany and other countries."
https://upload.wikimedia.org/w ikipedia/commons/1/14/Moscow_m etro_ring_railway_map_en_sb_fu ture.svg ,
Russians aren't afraid to use good German technology.
I wish that they would allow some of that German tech in BC but BC still strives to maintain and keep things at a smaller scale.
The Moscow Circle Line is a much more recent development than the one in London.
"Since the beginning, platforms have been at least 155 metres (509 ft) long to accommodate eight-car trains. The only exceptions are on the Filyovskaya Line: Vystavochnaya, Mezhdunar odnaya, Studencheskaya, Kutuzo vskaya, Fili, Bagrationovskaya , Filyovsky Park and Pionerskaya, which only allows six-car trains..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Metro#Rolling_stock
There is suppose to be secret deeper level subway around Moscow.
Of course when severe flooding occurs, the subways are among the first things to be affected.
How in the hell is the 3rd SkyTrain line constructed to have such small stations, in-spite of increasing future demand?
No city has spent billions of dollars just to have 2 car trains, except Vancouver & Richmond.
Apparently, the 50 m platforms are only long enough to accommodate 2.5 car trains as capacity demand increases. http://www.railfort hevalley.com/wp-content/upload s/2017/04/Canada-Rail-213-e140 82980653651.jpg
Sure, in the early years, Montreal could run a little 3 car train, but their Metro stations were designed to accommodate a 9 car train during the very busy times & 6 car trains for intermediate demand.
So the BC inept planning process never allowed for a future demand of at least 152.5 m or 500 foot long stations & platforms. Instead, they designed the max potential to be only 50m or 164 feet. That's pathetic & only adds to the deliberate bottleneck planning approach that backwards BC aspires to.
30-100 year plans http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ british-columbia/ubc-tunnel-su bway-transit-bc-mauro-chiesa-1 .4050842
As long as a line above ground & especially underground, has level sections of 500, 600 or 700 feet, then full length stations can be constructed.
When BC planers only allowed for a 50m or 164 foot level section for each Catheter Line,
If a system starts out with little trains but has designed the ability to triple or quadruple the length of the station platforms, then its just a matter of building that future extension right from the start or at some point later on.
Chicago & BART can still run ridiculous 4 car trains but the capacity to run 10 car trains was built in right from the start.
SYDNEY and its metro
Not only does Sydney have much longer trains & platforms, they are double level trains! Its like BC has made sure that it must never match the capacity that NSW & New_England has allowed for.
TOP 10 of the most beautiful trains in Japan
V-BC strives to perpetually be one of the most stunted or underbuilt major cities on the planet.

The Next 40 Years: BART's Plan to Keep the Bay Area Moving
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kEFjMxM4cU
BART must shut down for a few hours every night for mandated inspections and critical maintenance work but there's no replacement for actually seeing what happens during the race till dawn.

BART has the oldest fleet in the nation. It needs state and federal support to keep one of the Bay Area's most important public transportation systems in a state of good repair.
