Named after the BeltLine Railroad which originally followed portions of Yellow Creek though this part of town, this drain has many interesting features within it's winding path. A stone archway is left under Yonge St, multiple changes in pipe types from A-shaped to horseshoe and back, overflow chambers (two of them), and four large storage tanks (football field size in length) sit side-by-each connected by overflow windows. At times this drain is a killer as you hunch over to make your way to the Merorial Park tanks, but it's definitely worth all the lower back pain!
