Anyone who wants to know what Hamilton's future light rail train could look like can head down to city hall this week for a closer look.

There will be an LRT vehicle on display until Saturday. Members of the public can visit it, tour the vehicle and talk to city and Metrolinx staff.

The vehicle is at 71 Main St. W.

This year, the province announced $1 billion to build an LRT line from McMaster University to the Queenston traffic circle, and a planned line along James Street North from King Street to the waterfront.

Construction will start in 2019, with the line due to open in 2024.
