Line 509
Line 509 Harbourfront runs between Union Station and Exhibition, over a distance of approximately 4,1 kilometers. The line has 12 stops, of which two are underground (Unions Station and Queens Quay).
Unlike most other streetcar routes ("streetcar" = tram) in Toronto, the 509 Harbourfront runs over its full length on separated tracks (right-of-way); aside from road crossings, the streetcars do not run between other traffic.

Signalling system
As driving on sight is not an option in Metrosimulator, a fixed block system has been installed on the line, with ATB train protection. The allowed speeds are being shown on the driver panel, and enforced by the system. If the next block is occupied, or switches have not been set, the maximum speed is 10 km/h. In this case, you may not pass the next "S"-sign next to the tracks, which indicate the block separations, until you get a higher indicated speed limit (even if traffic lights are already green). The blocks have been kept short to allow short following distances.
Even though the transit signal has a double layout, these are not double signals; both lights are for the same direction.
