There are a couple of spiral (with open air arcs) sloping tunnels on the main railway through the Canadian Rockies on the BC side, to enable not too steep a slope between the mountain pass and the coastal plain. From the right spot on the road (where there is a viewing area car park for the purpose) one can see the long freight train pass over itself twice in the open arcs, ie the same train in 3 vertical levels. It's impressive, especially if one can catch (as we did) a slow uphill one.
