We tend to go overboard about the underground.

As we look at continued progress along the Eglinton Crosstown light rail transit (LRT) route, it’s the tunnels that often seem the most dramatic engineering feats. But those parts being built above ground-level – sections that will become signature Crosstown features in Toronto neighbourhoods – are also transit and construction sensations.

So throwing some love toward elevated guideways, here are images of the west portal near Mount Dennis Station.

This elevated guideway includes special track work. This includes turnouts and double crossover rail which allows trains to be guided from one track to another.

Trains will be tested from this stretch of rail to Caledonia Station in 2020.

As below, a lot of things are looking up along Crosstown.
