I’m the chronically online transit nerd who went out and started operating trains - My views and opinions do not represent those of my employer. I don’t know why people would assume that, but in the interest of keeping my job, it’s here.
I can also tell you 5 minutes of that is just getting across the Steel Bridge. A speed I assume is comparable to the Finch West LRT.

How much could a pencil cost? Ten dollars? If you only buy like 2 of them instead of 37 you could afford other stuff like a house.

I’ve never understood why so many people are moving there. Sure, housing is cheap, but buying a McMansion and a huge pickup is not going to fix the drain on your humanity that living there causes.

The type 1s are an important part of history, but they needed to be gone yesterday. Thank god their full retirement is on the horizon now that TriMet has all of their 6s delivered.

Gateway would be the main issue and would require a rework but aside from that the rest of the system should be able to handle it. I’m just spitballing because I know there’s no money to rework Gateway, but it would be a project that has the ability to majorly improve the entire system.
