Here's a shot of the CP Mainline at Bartlett in the west end...........a corridor capable of and that used to support 4 tracks at this location........today there are 2.........but look at where they installed the crossing signals.....

That's right...........directly in the path of restoring the additional tracks...........sigh....
At least those additional tracks are purely theoretical. In 2015, Metrolinx relocated a bunch of signals in Guelph onto the path of the second track which was already being planned at the time and is now under construction in 2022. See for example at the Yorkshire Street crossing:
2011: 2 tracks in place
2014: 2nd track has been removed
2019: signal has been relocated into space of old 2nd track:
