Trackage at Toronto Union Station
Author: gcm

From the walkway to CN Tower you get a good view of the intricate trackage at Union Station.
That is S13 8512.

Dec 1980

That diagonol track with all those slip switches - good thing they don't have 3rd rail. An 8 car train would gap out.

Impressive collection of "double slip" crossovers, rare in Canada. I wonder if they survived track changes a decade or so ago.

Impressive passenger installation. Curious what is here now.

Looking at Google Satellite View, it appears that the track arrangement is still pretty much the same today.  There are now two elevated walkways crossing over the tracks between the camera and the station platforms.

From a bit closer in, with less telephoto fore-shortening, in April 2016.
