O-Train Line 2 first opened on October 15, 2001, and runs North to South in Ottawa, and was initially named the O-Train. This line was a pilot project to see the public's reception and to evaluate alternative modes of public transit in Ottawa. The line had a length of 8km and consisted of only 5 stations, which included new stations at Bayview, Carling, Carleton, Confederation (later renamed Mooney's Bay) as well as the existing station of Greenboro (expanded and modified to accommodate the O-Train platform).

Stage 2 LRT began construction in 2019 and will bring with it an expansion of 8 new stations to O-Train Line 2 by 2023. The new service will feature 7 new trainsets, the Stadler FLIRT, which will have a diesel-electric propulsion system, but retain the capability for full electric operations at a future date. The new trains will run alongside the existing Alstom Coradia LINT 41 trains. Two new stations will be built at Gladstone and Walkley. The service will also extend from Greenboro as far as Limebank Road in Ottawa South, with a separate spur line from South Keys Station to the Ottawa International Airport.

***** At the the time of this video, O-Train Line 2 is closed for expansion, and is only anticipated to reopen in 2023. The expansion brings with it alterations to the existing stations, as well as new additional stations and destinations along the line. As a result, this video is looking back at the line, as it was, prior to its temporary closure in 2020. *****
