End of track
Title:  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.

Victoria Harbor bridges
Title:  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.
