Prince Edward Viaduct

Prince Edward Viaduct

Completed in 1919, this great engineering feat connected the growing community along the Danforth with the downtown. Both rugged and beautiful, the structure featured a lower deck, in anticipation for an eventual cross-town subway, which opened years later.

This model is a much more accurate rendition of what actually exists, rather than the loose rendition I released a couple of years ago.

WARNING WARNING WARNING
This model weighs in at a whopping 16,919 polygons. Users with lower system specs may take a performance hit using this model in their routes. You have been warned. However, I feel I can justify the crazy poly count, because this is such a prominent structure that plays a major role in rail operations.

Before the opening of the Bloor-Danforth subway in 1966, streetcars operated on the road deck. When the subway opened, the subway used the lower deck. I have put track on the roadway (upper deck), as well as the lower deck, so use it as you see fit. To make the tracks disappear, just attach Auran's invisible track to the set you want to hide.

Prototypically, both the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways have tracks running below the viaduct as well.
