Skytrain

This is where Skytrain lucked out. There was an underused single-track railway tunnel under downtown. This tunnel was split into two levels for an inbound and outbound tracks for Skytrain. Being that Skytrain uses smaller cars then mainline, it was relatively easy to do. Two stations were also carved into the station, Granville and Burrard. The line ends up at the former CP station on the Waterfront.
