There are a loop like after Rijndam Zuid or something like that?
There is at Bathurst Street (line 511).
That's not really needed at Spadina Avenue (line 510), as there is a turning loop already at the junction; http://carto.metro.free.fr/cartes/metro ... ay-Spadina ;)

Okay, let's not keep it secret anymore. At first I planned this for a later release, only including part of it in the primary release as a teaser/easteregg, but as we are still waiting for 3.15 (which is required for this add-on).... lets just use the extra time.

The Toronto map will not only include line 509 "Harbourfront". I am adding line 510 "Spadina" too, all the way to Spadina Station. :)
Now, there are a lot less buildings for this part of Toronto on 3D Warehause, so here, I will be using a lot of buildings already in the simulator, and re-use buildings from other parts of the route too. That makes the scenery a bit less optimal, but you still get the driving experience of line 510. ;)

And it adds one more underground station to the network; the Spadina Station terminus.

Spadina Station:

Only the streets are a bit less crowded in the simulation compared to real life; :D

Turning right here takes you into a reversing loop, which is usable to and from both sides of line 510.
I keep laughing at those Christmas-tree decorated traffic light posts over there (and the fact that they are situated at the far end of the crossing; creating situations in which the traffic light you need to look at can be up to 80 meters away from where you need to stop). :lol:

The Toronto wiki page has been updated to include line 510 "Spadina".
This also includes a new map of the CVL track layout.

SFMTA does not know how to run a metro system or light rail or streetcar. 8-)
