THE CANADIAN ENOINEEE 727 A LARGE CONCRETE VIADUCT. In municipal districts where railroad tracks traversethickly populated sections the quesition of proper accommod-ation for safe and uninterrupted traffic across the railroadproperty has become a serious matter. At Weston, a smallmunicipality just to the immediate west of Toronto, the pro-blem has been solved by the erection of the concrete andgirder steel viaduct forming- the subject of the Fig. 1. View Sliowing Columns and Floor Beams. A busy section of the main line of the Canadian PacificRailway occupies ithe entire lower, open portions of the via-duct which, at this point is supported by a number of rein-forced concrete piers. Leading to the spans an earthworkslope, held in place by a retaining wall of concrete, giveseasy access to the higher parts of the structure. The entirelength of the viaduct is almost 500 feet.
