End of track |
Description: |
The track ends in Victoria just after the station. There is enough room for a 3 car set of RDC,s though VIA only ever runs two. At one point, the rails continued past this point up the middle of a street to some industries, but that got removed. The only trains to come here now are the morning and evening RDC's. |

There it is! |
Description: |
My first sighting of an RDC running under it's own power. Apparently, no attempt is made to close the walkway on the bridge when a train is on it. |

Victoria Harbor bridges |
Description: |
Twin lift spans, one for cars, one for trains, stand at the boundary between the upper and lower harbor. They are scheduled to be replaced however, as they do not meet earthquake requirements and have a tendency to get stuck in the up position. The signal is there only for the bridge, this line does not have signals elsewhere. |
